STRONG WIND UKULELE REVIEW

LOOKING FOR A GOOD, SOLID UKULELE ???

Try the Strong Wind Ukulele! If you know ukuleles, then you know they are all different and the quality varies tremendously. I've found a 17 fretter with a nice voice and volume. The intonation is pretty good up the neck and the head stock isn't too heavy. I also like the bowed back, which provides a nice resonance. You might tweak it a little bit by sanding down the saddle a micron or two-- things like that are standard for set up on stringed instruments--but I would recommend it! Of course, whenever you get a new stringed instrument, you have to play and tune, play and tune, to stretch and season the strings. And yes, the Strong Wind is  pretty, and has the fret dots in the right place! You can order them from Amazon (naturally) and contact them through Facebook.

Upcoming Ukulele Workshop

Adult Ukulele Workshop
Saturday, 25th
10am-noon
Hungry Monk School of Music
1948 Belgrade
$50
Hey everybody! Whether you are an advanced player or just a beginner, you will benefit from this upcoming workshop. I like to teach the ukulele through songs, so once we get down the chords, strum, tempo and rhythm, we can work on alternate chords, tricks and melody. There's a lot to unpack! My strategy is to help players learn how to play well with others. Come join the merry throng! Bring your instrument !
