Laminated Mahogany Concert Ukulele. We tested many $100 ukuleles to determine the best entry level concert for our students and this was our choice. Nice sound, good playability, fitted with Aquila strings.

We wanted to offer our students with really limited budgets a decent player to learn on at the lowest price possible. We tested many brands and the Makalas fit the bill the best. Unlike many student level ukes, Makalas feel solid to play and stay in tune.

We've been on the lookout for two things; a good, beach-and-field-durable, compact chord chart and a good second-position chord chart. We couldn't find either so we combined them and made it ourselves! Introducing the Play Uke Chord Card, a super heavy, water-resistant card with first position chords on one side and second position ukulele chords on the other. The charts are big enough for me to see with my ever present reading glasses and still fit on a 5 x 7 card that will slip into any ukulele case. In fact, I have one in every uke case that I own!

If you are comfortable with common chords and want to advance to chord-wizardry, this is a must for your toolkit! The Official Ukulele Chord Theory Tutor Gizmo™ from PlayUke.net is kind of like a slide rule for the uke! You can use it to take a quick, self-guided, chord theory lesson anytime you wish. The Gizmo requires no computer and costs about the same as a burger and fries (but doesn't make your case smell like onions!) Order yours now! Also available for guitar!

Would you like to be able to play the correct chords of any song you know as second nature? Just pick up your uke, think of a song, and instinctively start playing the correct chords? Uke in a Flash is a tool that will simplify your playing right away, while it cleverly develops your "ear," and musical instincts in the background. You don't even need to think about it! Uke In A Flash is a set of chord charts based on the chord families and relationships that songwriters use. The cards are divided up by key. So if you're playing a song in, say, the key of "F," you'll have all the chords you need on one card rather than scanning a book or a page containing many unrelated charts. There are multiple benefits to Uke in a Flash. You'll learn what chords go with what keys. When playing with others, even on songs you don't know, you'll be able to use the cards to help you follow along and "keep up." You'll learn why some songs substitute an odd chord or two in the middle of a song. You'll train your ear and subconscious to recognize the interplay between chords. And you really don't need to memorize anything! Toss this set of cards into your case and you'll always have the chords you need to play most songs!

We go to a lot of "Concert in the Park" type events. If I see music in a comfortable outdoor setting, I am there! Over the years, we've purchased a few picnic bags and coolers for such occasions but they are either too big and bulky or too complicated for my liking. So when I stumbled across this bag I immediately bought one. After using the bag a few times, I thought it would be a natural companion item for when we take the ukes somewhere and create our own musical picnic. So we've emblazoned our "Four Strings, No Worries, Play Uke!" saying in khaki ink onto a hunter green bag to create the UkeNic Bag! It's got a generous sized, silver insulated interior suitable for a couple of sub sandwiches, chips, some salad, napkins, and utensils for two, a long zipper to seal out the outside temperature, and a side pocket large enough to hold a bottle of wine or soda or water. 8” W x 7” Gusset x 12” H

A couple of years ago at a uke festival I noticed how much STUFF people often carried in addition to their ukulele case(s). So I started searching for the best tote bag I could find... something that would carry a big 3 ring binder, books, chord charts, food, drinks, water bottles, whatever you like to carry. I finally found this perfectly sized, super durable, water resistant bag with oodles of pockets, zippers, adjustable straps, and clips. The original black and brown designs sold out so we decided to get a little flashy for 2011. This year's models come in red, orange, khaki, and military olive. Proudly emblazoned with Play Uke's official motto: Four Strings, No Worries, Play Uke! 15" W x 13" H x 4" D • Made from 50% Recycled Material • 600 Denier Polyester with PVC Backing • Adjustable Handles, Zippered Main Compartment • 8” x 9” Zippered Inside Pocket • Three 6” Deep Stationery Pockets • Inside and Outside Key Ring Attachments • Main Front Pocket with Pen Loops

The idea for this CD project began at the 2010 Tahoe Area Ukulele Festival, (now the Reno-Tahoe Uke Fest). The theme of the weekend was “Diversity of Uke,” and it featured artists taking the humble instrument in stunning directions, from simple to spectacular. After witnessing the various styles of the creative geniuses on stage, I felt a CD showcasing “all that uke can do” was a natural follow up. This compilation features “uke legends yet to be,” and showcases the instrument in styles ranging from minimalist folk to fully arranged ensemble. It also contains several songs that demonstrate the true soul of the ukulele, unabashed pure fun! CLICK THE ALBUM COVER FOR SONG SAMPLES or DIGITAL DOWNLOADS!
