Up here in Alaska it may not be as big of an issue, but every ukulelist should be aware of humidity's affect on their uke!

In working with the ukulele community for the last 20 years, I have witnessed the joy and fulfillment many friends have found when they find that special ukulele. Those of us who are musically sensitive and find self-expression through our music can develop a strong bond with our most loved instrume...

We'd like to thank Gwendolyn P. Brazier for lending her ukuleles to the club until we can fundraise our own, it is an absolute blessing!

We can't wait to see everyone tomorrow, have a good night!

Happy Weekend Everyone!

We all know of the classic Hawaiian twang played by hundreds of thousands of ukulelists, however the ukulele can accomplish so much more than that. With rising ukulele virtuosos today showing that to the world, a newfound respect and admiration has been developing for the instrument to not only be an instrument that plays fluttering tunes speaking of love and the islands, but also the ability to play blues, rock, metal, and any genre conceivable.

Today we are sharing with you all, James Hill playing Voodoo Child. One of the thousands of examples that prove to the world that this instrument is so much more than a kid's toy.

Greetings Everyone,

West Valley High School's Ukulele Club has recently have had an influx of new members and I can’t supply enough instruments by myself (I only have two) for us all to practice and learn new techniques. With that being said I am curious as to if anyone in the community might have unused ukuleles of any kind and would be willing to donate it to our club and in turn West Valley High School to promote music in our schools. I am reaching out to any and everyone who is willing to assist so that we can offer performances to the community as well as our school while spreading the joy that this simple yet striking instrument creates.

Thank you all for your time.
