    My new soprano ukulele arrived today. I decided to learn to play it, being inspired by a favorite song;


    It’s a nice, modestly priced mahogany uke, packed & shipped by someone whose sobriety is in doubt. To explain; It was supposed to be bundled with a hard case, a strap, tuner & instructional DVD. It arrived packed in the hard case (very nice BTW) along with a soft case, 2 extra packs of strings, 2 different tuners but no DVD.
    Very weird. I do not plan to return it, as I rather like it and there are plenty of online, free resources for learning it.

    If anyone needs a soft case for a soprano uke, let me know; I’ve got an extra.

    Does anyone else here play one?

    Cool!
    But remember, if you're not having fun playing it, you're doing it wrong. :)

    Already enjoying it. Just sitting & strumming is very relaxing.

    Hmmmm....
    I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm beginning to wonder if she really got a ukulele. I mean, we haven't seen any pics of said ukulele.

    My sister had Tiny's album with that song. He did some other good ones on that album.

    Here’s a piece from the British Ukulele Orchestra, that I thought you might like.

    I'm nominating the singer for the next Doctor Who. (And he does remind me a little bit of David Tennant.)
