I love ukulele, I started as a drummer at the age of 8. Then my wife brought me an acoustic guitar for Christmas when I was 33 years old because she couldn't think of anything else to get me even though I was always happy in bands playing drums in the bad. Anyway I learnt to play guitar and have a few now. Then on my 52 birthday my grown up sons brought me an good ukulele. At the time I was a band tour bus driver and on tour with Rod Stewart, so took the ukulele with me to learn to play while on tour for 9 weeks in UK and Europe. I asked one of the band members if they could show me some stuff on it which she did. This was 8 years ago now and just had my 60th birthday and take the ukulele whenever I go away. Brilliant channel by the way Justin 👍

@GotAUkulele 3 года назад

Not sure how you can generalise about all sopranos with a Mahalo as an example. Some of the fullest sounding ukuleles I have ever played are sopranos and not hyper prices either. It's just a different sound, but not not 'lesser'. Oh, and ukes don't lose tune with friction pegs if they are set properly.

@DrDespicable 3 года назад

I play guitar now, but I started on a baritone ukulele - and I loved it! I don't know if I'd have gone onto guitar, without the uke. And the baritone just doesn't get enough love.

I bought the same Mahalo ukes for my twin daughters when they were 9. Good little beginner ukes :) My first uke was the Enya Nova U concert ... it’s a great starter uke.

@bearthompson6506 3 года назад

This is great! Been playing guitar since 1974, and every time I go to Hawaii, I am lured into the music/ukelele shops and am so tempted to get a uke. Never felt comfortable with the differences between the styles (and the range of prices!) so always chickened out. Now I have something to base a decision on. I also appreciate the suggestion of going b budget (not to say cheap, though) to see if it's for me. I realized that my first guitar was probably around $100 from a used instrument store, and now I have 6 of them in a whole range of prices. Thanks for the tips. Mahalo! ;-)

@libelle8124 2 года назад

Thank goodness I found this channel. I've been searching for information about what type Ukulele would be best for me and most videos I found here on RU-vid, confused me more than they helped me in my decision making, this one here seems to do the trick :-) . I'm a total beginner, it would be my first musical instrument (that's if you count out Maracas, Radio and HiFi) and I'm in my late 50s, which limits the list of musical instrument I can realistically learn without too much frustration. So it's a Concert Ukulele I want. Now I've narrowed it down to the type and half the battle is won. Thank you :-)

@rfsilv02 3 года назад

@MusicalJeanAz 2 года назад

The baritone gets a bad rap by many. "Might as well just play a guitar". As a ex guitar player the baritone is a great option when you can no longer comfortably play a guitar. Love my baritones ukuleles. I can play them so much longer than I can play a guitar.

To me, the act of making music is the most fun that you can have with your clothes on. I really love music and its always the song you wanted when you play it. I am definitely going to buy one. I am curious as to do they have them with the steel strings as well??? Just seems that the sound would be better from steel strings and just too easy to play... a great teaching tool

Wow😳 Yesterday I bought a little uke at a Cashies store. Wasn't looking to buy one, but just saw it and thought it was super cute. Guess what. It is the exact same Mahalo you have there 😃. Mine is a lovely dark blue colour and it is in mint condition. I watched one of your videos last night to learn how to tune it and my first 4 cords. It sounds awesome. I paid $29AUD for it, which I think is about £15, it is in brand new condition, with the carry bag, so reckon I got a fabulous deal, yah 👍👏👏 So glad I found you too Justin. BTW, have ordered your book of 25 ukulele songs from an online book store. Can't wait to get it. Subbed to your channel too. Love your style, you're such a lovely guy too, and awesome teacher. Thanks so much Justin 🙏💕

@walkslow7509 3 года назад

I have an Enya X1 tenor ukulele. It is OK and does the job. It doesn't go out of tune too much, and the sound is decent, but I have to say the volume is a bit muted and the sound is not very bright. I've been playing for about a year and a half now, and have come across quite a few ukes that sound better for not much more $$$ at all. If you're in the market for a new uke, Enya is not bad, but you should note that Enya ukuleles are on a MASSIVE marketing campaign all over the internet and pay so many ukulele RU-vidrs to promote their products. So, take what people say about Enya ukes with a pinch of salt.

@dsungaripterus2600 3 года назад

The baritone uke seems better suited to strumming than a nylon-string guitar to me; less 'boomy' with just 4 strings. Do you play nylon or steel string acoustic when strumming?

I’ve never been especially enamored of the guitar; particularly electric guitar (I know… how weird is THAT!?) So… while I appreciate your thoughts regarding the ukulele, I have to wonder, would someone who’s drawn to the uke - MORE than the guitar - offer different opinions? Just wonderin’…

@MashaT22 3 года назад

Hi! Can you recommend a uke around $150-200 that doesn’t have a blunt edge? I am a beginner with a concert sized uke, and the uke I have is literally digging into my right forearm while strumming causing painful marks/bruises. I’ve experimented with various positioning, but I’ve concluded that it’s not the positioning that’s my problem, but the instrument’s design and the blunt edge where the side meets the top - no matter how I position, my forearm hits a corner one way or another. I am thinking that something with a more rounded edge would resolve the issue. Can you recommend some options? I’d really like a concert size, preferably an acoustic-electric. Thanks in advance!

@PLively 3 года назад

I like Ukeleles, please don't get me wrong, I'm happy for anyone with £850.00 who can afford to buy a Uke with that money. I see them, however, as a bit of fun - and as something that you wouldn't cry over if someone accidentally sat on it. I do get that some people might be professional musicians and make a living out of playing it - and good luck to you if that's the case. But a Uke that sounds 35 times better than another Uke... It's still a Uke. In my narrow-minded, limited view, cash strapped universe, it'd be ridiculous to spend that kind of money on a Uke.
