ukulele is great instrument, i used samick uk60 coz it cheap n nice

who would like to go for a gathering for ukulele players? looking for members to join FB group..

I play soso only can join ar?

i love ukulele...:-D

Me! Me! I play piano but ukulele is so cute that I bought one and play! Can bring anywhere also!

Never had an issue with ease to chord. That is mainly a function of the fretboard radius, rather than the strings. I mean... nylon's nylon.

bought a concert ukulele.. now my trilogy of ukuleles soprano, concert, tenor have been completed

wanted to look for one too...seeing that sri petaling is selling Mahalo brand..will it be hard to play this ukulele? judging that my fingers are quite hard now to press the chords XD

I like the sound. But it's too small for my big hands.

Hi all, can you guys recommend me a place to buy ukulele in PJ area?
And recommendation for a decent/good one? How much would it be?

Yes.. I need a recommendation too. Might be getting my hands on one soon

I prefer warmer tones, maybe mahagony/koa ones.

Yoyoyo wassup people? Just found this thread, nice to see more uke players here.

I've been playing casual guitar for the past 10 years, giving uke a shot just for kicks and found out it's actually quite fun. Just started with Super Mario (https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10150977169489431), still looking around for my 2nd song to play

Probably wanna go with Portal... hmmm - http://ukulelehunt.com/2008/04/13/jonathan...al-end-credits/

I've grown outta by seven tones Rm120 ukulele.

I saw another one which is bigger, concert sized or tenor sized. I dunno what brand nor do i remember the size but it feels great. Upside is that it comes with hard case, downside is that i don't want to spend Rm388 on an Ukulele.

Mahalo ones any good? For larger ones. Anyone knows where to find full range Mahalo in KL?

EDIT: Just remembered the Brand of the Rm388 model is by Tanglewood. Can sheck it out at Guitar Collection MV.

EDIT2: Might just go with the Eddy Finn instead.

I got a cheap seven tones concert uku..

still ubernoob level. But i must say i really enjoy it..

Is it the colourful one?

I have an orange coloured one. I bought the Eddy Finn as an upgrade. The Seven tones one the sound is really muffled.

Hi,

New member here. You are right about the sound of the colourful Seven Tones ukes being muffled. I bought a white coloured, concert sized one and was so disappointed by that soft sound. didn't expect that as it came with aquila strings!. I suspected that the paint job was too thick so I sanded the top board , and later the whole uke) down. I was presently surprised by the nice wood underneath. It's laminated maple I think with laminated mahogany ( I think) as the side wood. the back also looks like laminated maple. The neck was made with a type of wood with a nice grain ( a few knots here and there made it fantastic).

Just below the paint you'd find a layer of laquer that gives the wood a very smooth surface that may make you want to stop there what with the nice natural colour of the wood and all. But that layer of laquer would still stiffle the sound. I ended up sanding that away too and later applying a mahogony wood tone.

The uke opened up and I was so happy that I did that. I ended up buying another one ( a purple coloured one this time) and immediately started to sand down the thing. I stopped at the laquer this time (instead of sanding that away), and made another sound-hole at the side ( following the Riptide brand's uke). It sounds fantastic!

Not only do the ukes sound louder, they look beautiful as well!

If you are adventurous enough, invest in some sand-papers and do the same. a word of caution though, take your time in sanding - don't press too hard.

The laminated all mahogany seven tones UL 21 sopranos however are already loud out of the box. They are nice except for some minor issues like the saddle being too thin its space in the bridge (corrected by inserting some toothpicks there) and the white plastics (where the tuners go through) at the headstock falling off.

But the beautiful sound they produce, makes you forgive all that. I have two of that too.

Happy ukeing.
