Visit to Duke of Uke

I'll be back, tried out about 5 ukes, but had to leave since they close at 7pm, they has a crowd arriving for lessons then, the place was full of cool uke stuff.

Visit to Hobgoblin Music

This shop has loads of character, affable staff, not the usual intimidating musician/snobs you sometimes get. Got lots of help and advice. Tried out Soprano, Tenor and Concert size ukes. Didn't find much diference in volume, and think once you go to Tenor, you may as well buy a guitar. The smaller it is, the sweeter the tome it seems, and they're cuter. They get their own type made there, the Ashbury tenor Koa semi acoustic. This was the nicest I tried, was £209 which is not a bad price and comes with a soft case too.

First post, some ukulele chords with the fingerings

Yay, first post, the chords for the ukulele, with where to put your fingers. I got it here. @KimmyVille in Kentucky didn't have a way to open pdfs, so I copied it into a web page for her here. So, anyone else wants it go ahead, but all credit goes to Kiwi Ukulele who compiled the chart!
