Zadok The Priest

Inspired by colintribe, i had to try playing the introduction of händel's coronation anthem on ukulele. See colintribe's recording here:

Dear Wilfried,

I am amazed! How that Uke can sing! Really amazing! This is soooo beautiful! I'll sell my guitar now and go for the Uke! LOL

See you,

Per-Olov

@AndanteLargo Thanks so much, Per! You are too kind as always. Please don't sell your guitar, it sings much better as my uke :-) However, of course I think everybody needs an uke. I know pretty good guitar players who also play the uke. It works! :-)

A master like you would need a really good instrument. Claus Mohri is a truly masterful guitar and ukulele builder, and he's not too expensive, check out his site. If you prefer a cheaper uke, go for a brüko.

Best Regards Wilfried

@AndanteLargo ... I presume you know LuthVal? He also started playing the uke a few years ago, and I'm so proud that maybe I was a little bit influental about it. His uke channel is UkeVal, and he already got a nice little collection of ukes :-)

All the Best! Wilfried

@HelenaMikas Vielen Dank! Das ist das erste Mal daß jemand meine Ukulele mit einer Orgel verglichen hat :-)))

@HelenaMikas Thanks! :-) So you are British, but living in Germany?... Yes, I admit I listened to a recording with organ and choir when I arranged it for the uke. It's a great piece and it was a bit of a challenge :-)

[HelenaMikas]
