Howard at the music shop I work at has decided to start a ukulele orchestra so I was forced into getting one (honestly I was really, really, REALLY forced ).
As a soprano is a little small when used to a guitar, I opted to get a tenor:
....and as you can see from the label it was made in Portugal, the home of these instruments.
The only thing I do not like are the 'gold' fitting. They will shortly be changed.

Great looking guitar and a fantastic find. Now all we need is to hear a recording of you playing to know if it sounds as good as it looks. ~please~

Dino, I set the amp up in the shop, the pink bass is for sale and most definitely NOT mine.
Artie, I had a gig on Friday night and christened it. Plenty of volume if needed and no feedback even with a mic in front of the speakers. Not cheap but a great piece of kit.
Zurf, I will be taking it to the Rock Choir rehearsal on Thursday. I will keep you posted.

I recently went to the UK and came back with these. A Birmingham made Melody Major Mandolin Banjo dated about 1920 and a London made J.G.Winder Mandolin dated 1896.
They had belonged to my late uncle and I remember playing them as a youngster and when I mentioned them to my cousin she said her daughter had them, had unsuccessfully tried to sell them and they were kicking around in a shed. I went to see them and the mandolin banjo was presented to me in a hard case, dripping with water and supposed black but white with mould. I feared the worst and opened it with some trepidation....... the neck was adrift, but only unglued, the strings rusted away, but the skin was good. I threw away the case and have repaired the neck and the wooden back which was also coming unglued.
The mandolin was in better condition although there was a split down the front and most of the frets were longer than the width of the neck, again a bit of gluing and plenty of lemon oil on the neck and untreated front face of the instrument. Some of the frets had to be trimmed and the hard case is at a local cobbler being re-stitched.
I also got a violin but that is still with my sister in the UK as I could not get it in my suitcases.

Per could not reproduce this glitch and neither could I this morning, so I assume it is OK for you guys now.
If you see the same again please take a screen shot and e-mail it to: admin@chordie.com

Hi Charlotte, welcome to Chordie,
There is no membership fee for Chordie and as you only registered yesterday I am surprised that you think actually paid something. Your forgettery must be even better than mine

Re: Looking for Chords to "The Carnival is Over" (3 replies, posted in Song requests)
Hi Pete,
I am in the UK at the moment but I am sure I have the original sheet music for this song at home. I will copy it for you when I get back at the end of the week. As things are going to be hectic for me please remind me again at the weekend if I forget. (It is not that I have a bad memory but I do have a wonderful forgettery ).

Re: Happy Birthday to Topdown! (14 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
I was going to say "50 bars is no problem as long as the guitar stays in tune and you don't break a string!!"
Then I realised it would be lost on the other side of the pond as you use the term 'measure' instead of 'bar'.
Then I realised you could go into a 'bar' and have a 'measure'.
Then I realised my conversation was getting very stupid so I will shut up!!!!!!
I hope the hangover is not too dreadful Jeff,

Re: public book (3 replies, posted in About Chordie)
There have been a couple of gremlins in the works the past couple of days but it should be all OK now. I have just checked and I have no problem accessing the Public Books. If you still have a problem then it may well be at your end, try clearing your cookies, that often clears a multitude of sins.
Please let us know if it is now OK or if you are still having problems.

Re: access problems (7 replies, posted in Chordie's Chat Corner)
There have been some problems which Per is trying to sort out. As the problems seen to emanate from the song library he has temporarily disabled the 'Edit Song' feature. This will be enabled again as soon as possible.
Thank you for you patience and please keep the reports coming in, not only spam but anything that appears unusual in the songs comments.
