I owned a Maybelle Banjo-Uke back in the 60's. Loved the little thing. Lost it in a bar fight....when I crawled out from under the bass drum it was gone. Went...
Must be a Maybelle thing. I bought one in 1973 from John Dopera, the inventor of the Dobro. I loaned it to a friend who I then didn't see for years, and when I...

I have a Tulele from Joel at Earnest Instruments which is very cool. It looks like a mini telecaster, has a hollow body and a reasonable acoustic tone but...
Hi Maugie - It is cool to hear all the positive on the Maybelle ukes. I have had several banjo ukes over the years but the one I have kept is a Slingerland...
Thanks for the info. I went back to the store last night and played both again. I haven't made up my mind which one I like best. The Maybell is a little easier...
Not according to anything I've found. They do make a very nice looking Tenor, but the price I believe is up around $400-500 range. The Tenor is actually an...

Hi Maugie Interesting subject - we are hoping to have a tuning debate during the Ukulele Ceilidh here in Nova Scotia in October. Could stir up some 'action' -...
Do you use the ukulele in Celtic music? I play with an Irish session once in awhile, when I can find the time. I play acoustic bass guitar and play the rhythm...
