Ukulele

Graham | 13/11/2013 |

Hi.
I purchased a tenor Kala ukulele while on holidays in Hawaii.  About mid year 2011.

Since then I have been on a Uke journey. Learning chords strumming and all sorts of things.

To be honest I am not all that flash at it, but, have a great time!  I have travelled around Australia several times and practised each day – no complaints from those in other caravans 🙂

Cheers
Graham

Update:

I have purchased my retirement ukulele.  A Maton concert, beautiful sound.
How may ukes should you have?  My smiley face Mahalo is fun, and by the way, sounds great.  Like an Hawaiian one.
