I broke down and bought myself a Baritone Ukulele. I am so crazy about it! I bought it on Saturday and am still trying to get my fingertips toughened up. I can't wait until I can play more!!!

Very nice Bigbaby! I had a small one when I was probably around 13.

I still have my ukulele. A couple of strings are broke but I figure the kids will get their last laught when they dig that out of my junk pile after I'm gone.

Bigbaby I hope your uke brings lots of laughs and smiles. I wish I could hear a preview.

How fun! I had a friend in Austin who played Uke for the Pre-Schoolers she taught.

Congrats!

That's so neat! have you always wanted one? I keep forgetting to ask for an update, but this photo reminded me. How are your 'girls' doing? Have they completely recovered? You look wonderful.

I don't know what I thought a Ukulele would look like, but I didn't think it would look like a guitar. lol

Hope you are playing it like a pro in no time.

Bigbaby has a Littlebaby!! It looks like a baby guitar.

There's a product--I forget the name--that you can paint on your fingertips to protect them a bit when playing a stringed instrument. Music stores probably carry it. My daughter Jill bought me a bottle years ago in hopes that I would go back to playing the guitar, but my fingertips are too damaged from Raynaud's.

I expect a you-tube recital, when you have practiced enough. Tip Toe through the Tulips, would be good. LOL (Glenda remembered that?!!)
Looks like fun.

Well, toughen up those finger tips, AND DON'T FRET. Sorry, I could not resist.

Here's a youtube video of a happy ukulele group in Australia. My BIL's SIL (or my SIL once removed as I think of her) is the one shown driving the truck.

Enjoiy it. My best friend Sue had a guitar and a "fake" book so she could play all sorts of tunes using only a few basic chords.

Hahhhahha. NO TIPTOE THROUGH THE TULIPS!!! It actually sounds like a guitar instead of a ukulele. I would actually have to try to figure out how to upload a video to youtube, or even how to make one first! I learned how to play "Amazing Grace" yesterday, but it's a little rough!!

So how are you learning? Tutorials? Books? Did you say you played before?
