I dug out my old uke about 6 months ago. Its a beaut that was passed to me from my great aunt, its a Kumalae a BLOODY old. The tuning pegs are friction fit and the sound (with new Aquila strings on) is great. This said, I went and grabbed a $40 kala so that I could take it travelling and not risk damaging the old girl. That got the aquila nylgut treatment too and it's made a nice difference

I'm trying to get my head around finger picking at the moment, and there's a shit load of information around the web, particularly youtube.

I'm up otaki so regular practices wouldn't work, but getting together with a whole bunch of other uke nuts sounds top notch.

Over recent months I have "taken up" the ukulele.

Indeed so smitten am I with this Queen Of Instruments that I now have two, a soprano and a tenor. I also have callouses on my fingertips. Those who know will understand.

Anyway, I am now at a stage where I feel a strange desire to meet with other ukulele aficionados for the purposes of the convivial thrashing to death of said instruments.

Indeed a Wellington Chapter of the Kiwi Biker Ukulelisti may be of a mind to challenge other chapters for a "strum off" at a time and venue still to be decided?

Are there any starters out there?

on an impulse we went to see the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain a couple weeks ago. They were awesome.

No, I can't play.

I'll look for the PM nudez!

I've got a couple of books on finger picking and am learning to read tabs. However a lot of this stuff appears to be about classical/obscure music. I'm one of those people who needs to know what the tune is before I start.

There is a stack of stuff on youtube, and now I am just playing with the tunes I know to put base chords in them (?) and finger pick where I can. But the end game is the same....practice, practice, practice...not that I'm in a hurry
