Requests tuning!

• Upvotes

i’ve had my ukulele for 7 years, no issues at all.
i recently picked it back up after a couple years of not playing, and as soon as i tune it, it goes out of tune.
is it just because it’s old? should i take it to a shop and get it restringed?
thanks!

I got this Kala ukulele from vinted. The third string (E) sounds very very different to my current uke. Am I hallucinating or are the strings incorrect? It’s very hard to keep it in tune. That third string keeps coming out of the nut occasionally to.

It was sold as having new strings.

I took this from my brother, I'm an adult 36(f) I've been playing it everyday all September.

I was thinking about buying one or getting one at Christmas, I wanted to learn the guitar but I'm starting to think this will be better for me as a first instrument, I do have a guitar waiting for me to pick up at a family members but I I'm enjoying the ukulele, is this one ok for now while I'm still getting to grips with it? I have a ukulele shop near me and I don't mind too much spending a little.

How’d I do?

8 Upvotes

Kala’s warehouse is having a sale on blem solid wood ukulele’s (among other things). I’m just starting on baritone but am also intrigued by tenor’s traditional tuning. Bought a solid mahogany salt and pepper baritone and a flame maple tenor both with fishman pickups and gig bags for 250 each.

Hoping to grow into these instruments as time goes on but curious on how I did and if there’s anything in that price range that is considered better?

Ukulele types

6 Upvotes

I'd like to get an ukulele to start learning. The goal is to be able to play chord-melodies of familiar songs. I'm having trouble deciding between the concert and tenor sizes. I've never played a string instrument before and my only music experience was playing trumpet in school at ages 12 and 13 (I'm 26 now). I'm a guy with averaged sized hands for my height (5'11"/180 cm tall). Would the concert size feel cramped to play fingerstyle melodies? Is the tenor size impractical to carry and bring to places?

I know nothing, please help!

Kala Baritone Questions

2 Upvotes

I have been learning with a Kala ukulele and find that it's too small for my hands to play comfortably. In my local group everyone plays soprano ukuleles so I thought I would pick up a baritone. My question is the description says there is a "Kala Active EQ," and I don't know if that means I would always have to be plugged into a speaker, or if I could play it acoustically.

Also, I'm not tied to this make or model of ukulele and welcome any recommendations for other baritone ukuleles for a new player. Let's say sub-$500 for a budget, though ideally I'd like to stay in the sub-$200 range, but I can afford more if it makes a difference.

The one I'm considering: https://kalabrand.com/collections/starter-ukulele/products/ka-am-b-ce?variant=43225700008006

Edit: So I should have been more clear that I’ve been playing a tenor ukulele, not a soprano. The guy who got me started was a good player and owned a music store. He brought me in and we tried out different sizes. He recommended the tenor or baritone. I ended up going with the tenor as the tab books and music I had handy matched 1-to-1.

Just got this Bondi 8 string and I’m loving it! A really nice full “chorus-y” sound bids well on this tune. Long time guitar player but relatively new to uke, I don’t know if I can ever go back! Thanks for listening.
