Hi Everyone, First my question, next the background, and last the method: If you read to the end, I hope you'll think I'm going about this the right way. I'm...
Aloha All, I hope you'll takie 3 minutes and watch our new music video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_6DIktq3KIs Pleazse leave a comment, rate it, etc ...
I just got a new Uke from an online store. I had bought my soprano from them and I loved it, so now I wanted a Tenor. It is a Kala with a cedar soundboard. Not...
Lisa, In my (limited) experience, if a string were to "thud" I would think it would be the C string -- assuming you have it tuned reentrant GCEA -- as that is...
Ok, trying again. I sent this a bit ago and it never showed up. I just got a new Uke from an online store. I had bought my soprano from them and I loved it, so...
I'm no expert but here are some things to consider...Maybe try replacing the E string or all strings? Could the e string be the wrong gauge? Good Luck! Josh...
Hello, had a "thudder" myself . Turned out in my case it was a cracked nut. had it fixed, no more thud... Just a thought. Check out that nut!!! could be...
Well, they are Aquila strings, that I asked to have put on. I didn't put them on, and this is my first Tenor, so I have no idea. I just talked to the luthier...
Thank you, Gary, I will go look at it. I looked it all over this morning and just couldn't figure out what could be wrong with it. I don't really want to send...
Ok, I see no crack, but I can see that the sting isn't sitting completely down into the nut groove. It is particially in it, but there is a super tiny space...
Well, they are sending me a new set of strings to try. Said that the string might not be set right, so going to send me a new set to try, and then go from...
It is deffinitely the "E" string. And yes, I have it turned GCEA. They are Aquilas. I wonder if I got a bad string. I don't know of any place that carries...
Sounds like it's time to get a file and widen that groove. I have a six-string tenor that had a bad sounding G string. It turned out that the previous owner...
Thank you, I have decided to see if I can exchange it for another Uke. I bought some strings today, and put them on it, and it did the same thing. Took it down...
I think you have tracked it down... The ukes I have, no part of the strings are sitting above the nut.. My prowess as a luthier is limited to changing string...
Lisa, I have no idea who you purchased your Kala from but I have bought 2 Kalas (one a cedar-topped concert that I love)from Musicguymike on ebay. The thing I...
No, it isn't from Music Guy...I am not going to name any names...the place I ordered from I would order from again. I have nothing bad to say against them. ...
Just an update: The short responses have slowly started to trickle in. Not many but with some nice comments. It's appreciated. It only takes a minute once you...

I took advantage of this (hopefully) last snowy day in Chicago this season to record a new video. This is "Ku'u Home O Kahalu'u" written by Jerry Santos, and...
John King was one of the premier historians of the ukulele, a wonderful player and teacher and loved member of the worldwide ukulele family. He died suddenly...
... Hey There Dale, I'm sorry I didn't see your post sooner. I appreciate your input. I'm up to some uke making here that you may find interesting. Though I'm...
Hi Lisa, I just came across the thread of responses to your e-mail for help. Your last posting is two weeks ago as I write this. Opinions, opinions,...
