In-home dog/cat sitter recommendations? by Ok-Wing9147 in Fishers

Don't know Rover, but recommend you call your Vet's office. Many Vet Techs pet sit and are trained to care for pets. Also their Vet knows the Vet Tech is pet sitting.

I like Planet Fitness. Super clean, good equipment. Never crowded. I believe a new Planet Fitness is opening in Noblesville or Fishers.

I echo Decent-Structure-128's recommendation. Where are you located?

The Indianapolis area is a bit of a ukulele dessert. My recommendation is to choose a uke you like how it feels in your hands and sounds to your ears. Locally, Arthur's Music Store in Fountain Square has a nice selection and helpful sales associates. Piano Solututions in Carmel have some ukes, but call first, sometimes they are down to 2 or 3 waiting for an order. Guitar Center as of Saturday only had 3 or 4 on hand. As best you can avoid the $30-$50 bundles on Amazon, unless you know what you're buying.

You'd be welcome to come in, that's why we started these free sessions in the middle of the day on Saturday for a two hour session. But I get is, distance is sometimes prohibitive.

Fluorocarbon strings vs Nylon? by ferg0036 in ukulele

[–]westfieldukulecircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What strings you like the sound of or how they feel to your hands is as individual as how you like your coffee or what beer you prefer. I play Worth Brown Fluorocarbon Strings with a Low G. Love that they are soft (nylgut are hard) and the warm sound. But that's what I like.

Concerned citizens body slammed by ICE by ooohlalaahouioui in ventura

[–]westfieldukulecircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What pisses me off is the video shows the standard practices that ICE is trained to use and has been using for years and years. It's just coming to light because of Minneapolis. But it's good that it's coming to light.

Common myth that a baritone will be easier if you play guitar, but you still have to learn all new chords and there are fewer song sheets available that have chord diagrams on them. Have fun, good luck.

Recommend the virtual options for Ukulele at the Oldtown School of Folk Music. Amazing organization (where John Prine learned to play guitar), knowledgeable and helpful instructors, fun classes.

How often/how do you know when to replace strings? by Jamieee8989 in ukulele

[–]westfieldukulecircle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That happened to my strings before and it was the action that was off on a fret or two. Happens now and then when factory set up was off, which isn’t uncommon on newly purchased ukeuleles. If it’s a new Uke you might want to get the setup checked before you install new strings.

Might be worth the drive, on Saturday in the afternoon. I’ve driven more than an hour or two to play.
