There have been three Jupiter Creek ukuleles crop up on eBay this week. The baritone has gone already, but you still have a shot at a concert and a tenor. There’s also a soprano for sale on eBay France. It’s not often you see RISAs on eBay, but there’s a Meltocaster on there right now. […]

I think I should probably change the name now that YouTube have stolen it. Anyhoo, this week I was really impressed with Jake Wildwood. He’s put a whole load of old timey uke and non-uke videos up this week. You can download all his albums for free on his website. The Barnkickers – One Less […]

Black Bear have come up with a great looking Concert Harp ukulele. Another question: Does anyone know anything about Hudson […]
