My Ukulele Collection

[Guest]

There a few new ukes which aren't in this picture because they were bought afterwards or on loan to people in my band:

A better picture of just the ukes:

That one is made of plastic. I play it in the bath sometimes. It is a Japenese uke and just about the nicest sounding plastic model I have ever played.

I can honestly say that I never imagined I would be jealous of a ukulele collection, but here we are...

Which is your favorite?

That is a tough one because they all server different purposes. If I had to pick just one it would be my 1923 Martin style 0 which is fourth from the left, on the sofa. It has a really nice vintage tone and feels wonderful to play.

Wow that's an impressive collection Ripley!

[Viktor]

Damn, that is a lot.

[Guest]

Damn, that is a lot.

You can see some of my guitars on the wall and one of my basses on the first picture. Technically there are two basses because one of the ukes is a uke-bass. There are a lot more instruments I couldn't fit in the photo. Musicians call it GAS, or Gear Aquisition Syndrome.

I saw on one of those dyi sites how to take an acoustic guitar and turn it into a bass uke.

I would love a uke.. and a mandolin... and an accordion...

[Guest]

I have a mandolin, but they are a bitch to play. I thought the tuning was EADG which would be simple for a guitarist like myself. The mandolin tuning is actually GDAE like a damn violin.

Nice couch! real leather?

[Guest]

Yes, real leather. I bought it from a charity shop for about £100. Bargain! It is huge too.

Awesome collection Ripley! I played that instrument for the first time this summer and it's only then that I realized that nothing is as sexy as a sweet lady playing ukulele and singing a sweet song at the same time. It was a real revelation to me. Being a guitar and bass player I found this instrument very easy to play compared to what I was expecting. The sound it produces is a charm too.

[Guest]

Yes, it is a wonderful and very underrated instrument.

Absolutely Wanner. I often have one in my lap during realisms and play once I die.
