Pretty good article on the uke resurgence on SFGate (via Ukulelia). The usual stuff but done more intelligently. Can anyone enlighten me as to where in I’m Yours this ukulele that everyone talks about is? Jim D’Ville asks National Reso-Phonic three questions. Acilius did such a good review of the UOGB re-releases I don’t think […]

Aquila are bringing out a new type of string that they’re calling Bionylon (isn’t that what Wonder Woman’s tights were made of?). Ken Middleton has been testing them out along with the Nylguts – but is keeping us in the dark as to which is which for now. The Uke Hunt Podcast is up on […]

Don’t miss the first ever Uke Hunt Podcast. Unfortunately, it seems to be the only audio-widget doodads that’s working at the moment – seems like a plugin problem.

Very interesting interview with a ukulele collector on Collectors Weekly. Frank Skinner does a Formby-esque tribute to the vuvuzela. Kina Grannis’s ukulele has been […]

So transferring the site turned out to be something of a disaster. If you emailed me on Tuesday/Wednesday (including about the podcast) there’s a good chance I didn’t get your email. So I’m not blanking you, just email again. Some comments are currently missing – I’m trying to recover them. And if you missed it […]
