gi_gi_Participant@heike_uke yes your Oli sounds so good. Nice job.
@leb_397 nice job on those harmonics. They’re tricky. I am so regretting choosing St James Infirmary. It’s more difficult than I realized. I still can’t believe Evan was 14 when he played that sooooo well. He’s amazing.
@martin_19 Welcome. You played well and even memorized it. Nice job
@misterbones Your submissions are always stellar. That looked so difficult.
@joe150 kudos for playing 2 songs.August 18, 2026 at 4:44 pm #84162

gi_gi_Participant@the_bumble_bard Don’t get me started with the Drewmpa Loompas and the DNA that would be left on Andrew’s uke that was gonna be given away. He wound up pulling the uke from the challenge. We had the best laugh off of that one ๐๐คฃ๐๐๐คฃ๐

gi_gi_Participant@anyon1 Thanks so much for the compliment. I appreciate it. It’s hard to let the emotions show when a video is on you. I started to forget the video was on after a while โบ๏ธ Gymnopedie is such a moving song in itself. I look forward to your St. James Infirmary. I just love how Evan plays it with such rhythm and soul. It’s a great piece.

gi_gi_Participant@leb397 Thanks so much. I agree with you @anyon1 That was wonderful the way you played House of the Rising Sun.
About the magnet…I did drop it a couple of times before I put my fingers inside the uke, under the E and A strings then dtopped the magnet inside my hand and slowly moved itnover ๐
I knew that was a Kamaka. It is gorgeous. Wow. Sounds good too. Those are very hard to find used. What a great find.August 3, 2026 at 5:00 am #84058
gi_gi_Participant@leb397 Hi Louisa, your chucking was good in last month’s submission. You got it. Your uke is pretty. Is it new?
I’m working on St. James Infirmary song for this month. Wish I could play it like @EvandaSilva. It’s unbelievable he could play so well at that tender age of 13. How he has grown now.

gi_gi_Participant@dianna Your hair is sooooooo beautiful. Amazing even ๐ฅฐ I have my share of salt & pepper strands but they’re more visible in the sun ๐

gi_gi_Participant@Dianna Thanks so very much โบ๏ธ So glad you were able to play this month. It’s always enjoyable to hear the submissions. Side note: your hair is sooo pretty. The color is beautiful.
@ukealori Beautiful uke. So glad you could play again. The uke has its small way in helping us through life’s struggles. Wishing you well.July 31, 2026 at 8:12 am #84021
gi_gi_Participant@otzepeng Hi Markus, thanks so much. I love it too. I can’t believe I have it. The way I was able to get it is because they allow you to pay as little as $100 a month until it’s paid off. You can choose if you pay more or less. I just couldn’t refuse that offer ๐ It is offered at checkout.
@the_bumble_bard Yes I think I might try to play it at the Open Mic ๐ Congrats on 4 yrs here. Great community indeed ๐ฅฐJuly 30, 2026 at 6:48 pm #84011
gi_gi_Participant@the_bumble_bard So good to see and hear from you. Glad you could do it.

gi_gi_Participant@otzepeng Thanks about my new Lout uke. I had been eyeing it for years now. They’re hard to find. I can’t believe how much resonance it had. I love it. Yes I recorded with only one mic. I started with two but after listening back I decided I only needed one since I wasn’t singing into the second mic. I put it on the right side because it was getting in my way on the left side. I set it to ‘without noise cancelling’ (blue). I really didn’t know what I was doing. I just hit the button and played ๐๐๐ Those little mics are so easy to set up. Do you think I should’ve used both mics?
Great video on playing the uke with only the right hand ๐ I will try it.

gi_gi_Participant@jody_hendrickson & @otzepeng Thank you so much for your kind words. I really appreciate them. I enjoyed both of your pieces as well. Very well played.
@otzepeng If I remember correctly you were the one to tell us about the Hollyland Lark mics. They’re amazing. Thanks for that tip. It’s so convenient and easier to use than an amp โบ๏ธJuly 29, 2026 at 10:15 am #83991 -
