Uke Blog

This is a blog for the uke enthusiast and the budding uke player. When I started playing, there wasn't a clear path to follow in terms of learning, history, etc. This blog is meant to fill that need. I hope it is of some use to you.

Got Old Sheet Music?

One of my favorite antiques to hunt for is old sheet music. It's usually cheap and the graphics are great. The best thing about sheet music is that antique dealers can't get rid of the stuff fast enough. They hate it. I recently bought a lot of 40 pieces from a dealer in New Hampshire for $15. The other cool thing is that almost every piece of music that you pick up (20s,30's,40's) has a Ukulele arrangement. So, you can play it or display it. Be aware though that a lot of the music of the 20's and 30's is arranged for D tuning (A,D,F#,B), so you'll have to transpose it if you are used to playing in C tuning (G,C,E,A). Happy hunting.

If any of you have Uke related (picture of ukulele on cover or the word "Ukulele" in the title) sheet music, that you'd like to sell or trade , lemme know. Here's a couple of favorites that I've found lately:
