Da Tuning...




Love my tuner ITM-500 for those of you new to the Ukulele this is a great tool for tuning the ukulele. By default the tuner is set at 440mhz tuning...just turn it on remember our tuning is set for GCEA or Good Cooks Eat Alot...heh!


I also found this note chart you can download here just click on the photo

Da Recorder Sony PCM-D50


This is a great tool for the classes we have as well as to see how bad i really play....i like this one cause it is easy to get to the controls and the mics seem to have real nice pick up...but i also found that i can hook em up to my electric uke and record...not that i sound good or anything but it is nice to know i can do this....i

I have two new friends.....!!!





Hey everyone!,

I got two new friends this past week. Oh my god my UAS is bad..."ukulele acquisition syndrome"

The new uke is electric BugsGear EleUke Tenor TC100-MHP is real small for a tenor but it can go anywhere....and it is quite too...unless you got the amp hooked up to it....!!! The amp is a Roland Cube RX Guitar Amp...uses 6AA batteries and runs for hours....has a bunch of effects too. Little heavy but beats carrying around a generator....not that i will be having a concert any time soon...but it is kind of fun to see the different tones you can get out of one instrument...


You can see more on this uke here: http://www.eleuke.com/intro/c02.html

and the amp here but it is all in Japanese...http://www.roland.co.jp/mov/page/MonthlyPickup07/index.html
