A ukelele question

[magisng]

alot of places sell ukelele but theyre those 30-50 dollar types which have horrible tuning stability

Hi I'm Peter. I know of a place selling quality Ukes meant for Japanese market @ reasonably prices. Call me 98383055

myself owning a Martin ukulele, looking for a Kamaka~ ... any clue?

Hi I'm Peter. Would you like to look at my HANA uke? Solid Mahagony.
Please contact me 98383055

Alright, this is my Tenor ukulele, beside my ex-Elite

this is my friend's J&D uke infront and my Maestro Uke behind.

My friend got his J&D uke from Music Theme, for only $80. Nice quality tenor uke. The strings will stay very much in tune after some seasoning. Great bang for the buck! The tone is brighter than my Maestro uke.

There are different sizes of ukulele that will also account to the price other than the wood. You have soprano, concert, tenor, baritone.

I think i probably bought the last ever tenor sized uke in Singapore. Maestro did not replace the one i bought off the rack. Music Theme doesn't sell anymore since my friend bought that last piece of tenor.

Soprano and concert size will be too small (for me at least). Maestro still has the baritone uke the last time i went, price is about SGD300-350 i think?

If anyone finds a decent tenor sized uke in Singapore, let me know..I plan to buy one more. I don't intend to splurge thousand over dollars over a kamaka like what my friend did in tokyo.. LoL

Hi, I'm Peter. I know of a place importing quality Ukes meant for the Japanese market @ fair prices. Feel free to call me so that I can show you those that I own. 98383055

Patience is a virtue... Anyway, you'd get better response on the Ukulele Movement on Facebook. And a lot of people can't spell ukulele. :S

i want to play ukulele too. But how is the fingering of ukulele? e.g. making chord and such? any good website to learn from?

 

[Girlpants]

I have a ukelele too! But I couldn't get used to it so it's sitting one corner of my room.

Nope. But if you read through the posts there are a handful like the thread title.

 

[mus]

Agreed.

Thinking of getting a TGM ukulele to play and practice. I was shocked to see Maestro's ukulele cost about $640. Fuh!

 

[kerplunk182]

:O! They're that ex? How much are the TGM ones?

 

[mus]

Yeah man, they are that ex!. I think the TGM ones are about $35 - $40. I saw it at Music Theme and Ranking. Jack and Danny ukulele also available at Ranking for $60 if I'm not wrong.

 

[throwduncan]

should i get a maestro?
having a dillemma now.

 

[mus]

Try first before getting one.

 

[throwduncan]

ok so i went to try one.
sounds great!
is there any other ukuleles to benchmark?

 

[kerplunk182]

I got my J&D baritone one for 90. The TGM one was a soprano, it was going for 35. Both with gig bags.
