Thanks again Dave, you have broadened my horizons! My family may disagree with that last statement though.

Location: Midland, MI | DAAAVVVEEEE! FedEx dropped the box off today. Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! On a Saturday! (note: my wife was *much* more surprised that I was...oops!)
The plan is to teach Littleman some simple uke songs as an alternative to that evil Cartoon Network and various video games (even if they are age appropriate).
THANKS! |

It's always good to have a plan. I also bought a different uke from Dave. I have to wait till June 10th to unveil my plan. ;) |

My son, the aspiring shredder, was facinated with it, especially the tuning. It was entertaining watching him trying to play Iron Maiden on a uke. |

I'll have to see what I can find on there to surprise/impress my son. |

Location: Tennessee | Dave ... I know the uke has made it to casa bobbo. I, on the other hand, have not been there for a while so it'll be the weekend before I can irritate those who make my home what it is. When I asked what it looked like, I got "it's cute". Since #6 should be there as well when I get home, it's going to be a real dilemma deciding which one to play first. Seriously. |

Location: Upper Left USA | Update on my venture into the world of Ukulele.
I have changed over to the Aquila strings, filed the nut, reglued the rising bridge and oiled the entire Uke.
I like it!
I am working out some of the fat finger issues but it is very addictive to pick up and play.
I must fight the urge to upgrade (@#%&*! Witko)! |

You get a nice little Ukulele... And the first thing you do is Take It Apart.
That's the Luthier-testosterone-Shadetree Mechanic instinct!
"I will lower the action, get a Tusq nut, and should I use an OP24+ or and OP-Pro?" |

The OP 24 is way too long and the OP-Pro has an oval shape that doesn't fit the contour.
This is an obvious application for the Schaller sticky dot...
...what problem? |
