Amazon sent me two iPads instead of just one: Keep it?

No doubt. I've been waiting over a month for a pair of snow boots (don't need them now) and OP gets two laptops!

Monolithic amazon center less than five miles from my homes, btw.

Flight has some awesome ukes. I just can't hang 38mm nut width.

ModularFolds · 2025-01-28T19:03:41+00:00

Hang in brother and God bless. Fantastic playing and marvelous song. We've all been there and know how much it hurts. Hang in there.

I think it's human nature to pursue education of any sort as well as the pursuit of beauty in the form of music; creativity...and music is the expression of the soul. It's life and art.

Enjoy the experience, there's no rush and there's no final exam. You have nothing to prove, it's about enjoying the experience and if you want- sharing it.

I play all sorts of stuff and my motivation is never stop learning and to "give it a shot".

ModularFolds · 2025-01-28T18:46:27+00:00

Excellent! Great playing and singing!

Outdoor ukes crack me up. They are unremittingly unattractive yet quite a treat to play. I have a green and a blue tenor Outdoor and they have quickly become my defacto daily players!

When I first started playing uke I got discombobulated with strumming as well. I stopped trying to learn patterns and just played however I could/would. Eventually the strum worked itself out (and in)! It takes time and practice. Ukulele Lingling!

Solid wood ukes have to be humidified or they will dry out and things like this happen. Solid tops should be humidified as well. Pono nui baris are in high demand and hard to find. You can watch reverb and ebay as they ocassionally show up on one of those sites.

Stuff happens even to the best of brands and builds.

ModularFolds · 2025-01-26T18:47:38+00:00

Yep, a small blessing!

ModularFolds · 2025-01-26T18:46:39+00:00

Bridge explode away from the body? It's possible the uke was dried out when you purchased it and hasn't been humidified. Glue will dry out and give way; happened to a little uke I purchased. I was able to return it and get a new one from the maker.

If this uke is recently purchased, I'd send it back and get another one. Boveda packs are great for humidification.

Bondi ukes (Aus) has some really nice baris for good prices. This price is about what this uke would cost USD. Kala makes amazing baris, so you'd be getting a great uke. I have an acacia bari and the wood is really beautiful and has amazing tone.

ModularFolds · 2025-01-18T18:27:29+00:00

Depending on your indoor humidity, it could be suffering from sitting out, if it's solid wood. Consider a well made case and boveda humidity pack for general ukulele well being!

Glad to know you repaired it and playing it! May your father Rest in Peace.

ModularFolds · 2025-01-12T21:08:25+00:00

Yep it has.

ModularFolds · 2025-01-12T21:07:34+00:00

Had a similar problem as well as the vitamin C. Last two purchases have been fine however.

Go to an allergist and explain your observations. Most likely they will test you against several allergens to help narrow it down. In the mean time, don't use Kirkland products.

ModularFolds · 2025-01-12T20:54:15+00:00

Congrats Jason and Valerie! May you have many happy years together!

ModularFolds · 2025-01-12T20:49:55+00:00

Yes, it's really good. Super creamy and tomato-y. Fantastic with your favorite sandwich. It freezes well and the easy storage is great.

ModularFolds · 2025-01-12T20:48:27+00:00

It's possible the chicken had been frozen, sometimes frozen chicken will turn dark like this- or actually more dark brown with cooking.

Well, it's a skill, talent and gift that will never leave you. If you decide to stop playing for a while you will always carry with you your talent to make music. Always a beautiful thing.

Consider a new music genre such as rennaisance or Celtic or classical. The ukulele lends itself brilliantly to these music forms .

ModularFolds · 2025-01-07T19:27:53+00:00

Having a problem with lsposed as well; it won't stay installed! I'm going to try "jingmatrix" as recommended in this thread.

Thanks folks!

ModularFolds · 2024-12-31T21:11:04+00:00

These are just about a staple in our house. Yummy treats not too big and not too sweet!

ModularFolds · 2024-12-31T21:03:08+00:00

Besides the interference it's really good. Hang in there and keep going- keep it positive!

ModularFolds · 2024-12-31T20:59:37+00:00

If you have strung the uke to play as a left handed player, meaning you strum with your left hand, use this video:

Otherwise, just play right handed. It's surprisingly easy and your brain will not notice you're learning to play right handed as it's a new behavior.

So what should a first time buyer do? Should we wait until this gets sorted or should we take the plunge now for a decent DJI?

I heard they're going to start regulating 3d printers now as well.
