Re: 1000 ukulele's

I look forawrd to seeing this on youtube. No doubt someone will film it and chuck it on there.
It should even get on the national news, but first i am more interested in looking up free TV online so i can watch the Celtic v arsenal game tonight, lol

If I forget I hope someone posts a youetube link to see this uke thing.

Re: 1000 ukulele's

Hey Badeye, shouldn't that be an "Audio Daily Double"?

  Really it might be very good, and an opportunity to set a Guiness World record!  I wonder what the record time is for perfectly tuning 4000 strings? 

  Looking forward to seeing the results on "Tube" nonetheless.

Take Care;

Bit disapointing if you ask me. A slow tune!

And like I said in the comments, I am sure someone was out of tune.
