Hey guys, we are back with Live Lesson EP031! This month’s topic is: Let’s Talk About UAS (Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome).
Ever feel the urge to get another ukulele? Or are you unsure about what kind you should be looking for? In this session, we’ll discuss what I look for in new ukuleles and how I finally conquered that feeling for “just one more”.
This month’s topic should stir up some great questions! So please post all you have below and I hope you guys join us for the live stream. 🙂

As is known by many, George Harrison was a huge ukulele fan for many years, in addition to being a great guitarist and composer. And son Dhani grew up with the huge collection of ukes that George had amassed. And has now given his own name to a uke released by Fender under the name: “Dhani Harrison ukulele”. The question is: for which target group is this uke intended? For the starter, given the price segment, or for the Harrison fans, who ‘must have’ such a copy? Maybe for both? I can already tell you that I have also overcome the feeling of ‘must have’, although my hands are itching 🙂 Kind regards, Dirk
I proudly own 5 ukes lol! I have my original Kala Tenor that hangs on my living room wall, a Solid Wood Low G Tenor Kala, Solid Wood High G Concert Pono, Solid Wood Baritone Pono and a Flight Travel Soprano uke. I love all of them for their different sounds and uses. I think my most UAS purchase was when I was learning a song with some big stretch chords and I convinced myself I needed a concert size so it would be easier!😂
Hi folks, I’ve been following Matt’s live stream. Was a lot of fun and considerations came along that I recognized myself in: 1: how many ukes do you need? In my case: After playing on an entry-level uke for a year, I was able to buy two high-quality ukes. The choice also fell on Kanile’a. Because of, and as Matt also mentioned: sustain, intonation, tone. And of course personal preference for sound color. I am immediately done with considerations for replacement or expansion of the uke collection. 2: The Fender ukes: also agree with Matt. This manufacturer is not really known as a renowned ukulele builder. But the Dhani uke remains a fun instrument, as a gimmick 🙂 Thanks Matt, for this meaningful livestream!
