Ken,

Great to hear your having so much fun with the little thing <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_rolleyes.gif" border=0 alt="Rolling Eyes"> I've just got, from ebay, a banjo uke from the UK. I should get it in a week or two. I'll let you know how it works out. I looks like lots o fun. And you are 100% on the mark when you say you hae to sing when you play. That way if your not very good you just need to sing louder! <img src="images/smiley_icons/icon_lol.gif" border=0 alt="Laughing">

Marty the uke guy!

Its worth it to buy a good one. I have 7 (at least one of each size) and i would agree that i find myself picking up the tenor more often then any other. for about $150 to $200 US you can get a real nice one. by the way, I was corrected by my daugther (they know everything at 19) that the correct spelling is ukulele in hawaiian. Lanikai has good quality at a fair price. if you spend less than $50 you may not be getting anything but a toy (and you won't like the way it sounds or the way it plays.) I do know that of all the ones I have the KALA 6 string tenor sounds great. Good luck with it. Ebay is a good place to pick one up.

I've played the guitar for years, my daughter started at the Univ of Hawai'i last fall and I picked one up about 10 months ago on a trip to the islands and sold my guitar! What a blast. Doing things that I could never do on the guitar. This is a great site because its hard to find ukulele books in the 'real world'. Anyone else out there?
