  • Nope. I'm not a moderator on any site, although I do hang out on the GS board from time to time.
    Yup, that's Jake. He's a local legend in Hawaii where I'm originally from. Nice guy too. I've got all his CDs and some from his previous group as well. Last time he was through town here (Minneapolis), he played at the Dakota which is the top jazz club in town. Sold out two shows. He plays a custom Kamaka tenor.
    I built a soprano ukelele about a year ago at the local University-S.I.U. The college has a Craft shop that will have classes on a regular basis and it is a very fun experience. My first project was a Telecaster kit that I hot rodded for lots of versatility, the uke was next and this year I built a full sized violin. Now I just need the talent to make the Uke and Violin sound like music.....yeah I agree that a tenor is the way to go!
    Check out this guy!!!!:eek:

    Yes actually. Pretty portable too. If you decide to pick one up, get a tenor sized one rather than a soprano (most of them are sopranos). Tuning and voicing are better IMHO and a bit more manageable to play. Chord shapes are very similar (sometimes the same) as guitar. For example the normal D chord shape on a guitar is a G on a uke. Tuning that I use is GCEA.
    I thought maybe you were from Hawaii. So if a ukelele is the Hawaiian equivalent of a recorder, is it similarly easy to play? I've never touched one.
    They sure did. If you recall, I had the 528e--and really liked it. These were really close (as I expected) but a bit hotter. The 528 is just one channel and a bunch of other channel strip goodies I rarely use. So now I've got 4 channels of the same very usable sound. And I think of you when I use 'em. Definitely a good deal--thanks.
