This is an EXCELLENT video. I wish I had found all this advice in one video when I was doing research about learning to play the Ukulele. I concur, UAS is very real!! I started playing a year ago and have a Soprano, two Concerts, two Tenors and one Baritone and I love them all. Love also that you mentioned Southern Ukulele Store and World Of Ukes. I have a Ukulele from each of those stores. Always first class service! Highly recommend as did you! I actually bought my first Ukulele, after doing lots of research, via Amazon and it remains one of my favourite Ukuleles to play. This video is great advice for those thinking about buying their first Ukulele, even for those who are beginner/intermediate players. Bravo and 'Shamai'. Love your Channels! Thank you for all that you do!

So the baritone is out for a first Ukulele. I really enjoy my Ubass so I was thinking of getting a Ukulele of a similar size.

Thank you for this helpful video. I love your welsh dragon Ukulele. My father was from Wales, and he took me there when I was a child a few times. I live in Canada, wondering if I could buy a Ukelele like that.

My c string broke yesterday and I can't figure out how to put a new one on can you make a video showing how to put strings on it would be helpful for me and other people?😁

Thanks Rachel. U.A.S.? No such thing. It’s a coincidence that I bought a ukulele while I was buying another ukulele.
I was in my local (Headcorn) shop placing an order for a rather expensive Kala, before I left I picked up a £70 Ortega pineapple which ended up following me home. It’s still one of my favourites.

What brand is the first uke you play on this video, you said was about £40 ?
