[QUOTE=WT Sharpe;1776945]What kind of uke is that in your avatar? It resembles my Cordoba.[/QUOTE
I don't play, but our village club/pub here in Sometset has a Uke night on Mondays, we all go to listen, it's terrific - "Ace of Spades" to "You are My Sweetheart " - with anywhere from 20-30-40 players (the latter on open mike nights etc...) with bass, accordion and kazoos.....
You really have to hear "modern" uke repertoire, you'll grow to enjoy it !
We (ie the club re:the uks band) were even on CNN a year or so ago.
However, I digress - yes, it does look like a classic acoustic axe, and some of these classic ukuleli are beautiful jobs.
However, my son is a guitarist, mainly electric blues/ Indy[Joe Bona /Muse] but trying to create his own genre (!) , so for his 21st, as an amusing change from tankards, foot pedals, and keys etc, I bought him a ukulele....
An electric ukulele.....
A white electric ukulele......
A Flying Vee white electric ukulele !!
Went down very well, and he's now trying to perfect "thrash" ukulele so he can "blues up" the joint
