Beginner Ukulele Lesson every first Tuesday

Beginner Ukulele Workshop Tuesday  5th August Old Spot Hotel.

 1st Tuesday of the month is usually beginner night, this can get a bit tedious for you experienced NUkers.

So what I propose we will do next Tuesday is split into 2 groups. 

I'll give the beginners a two hour workshop to coach them on a bit, 
and all you experienced NUkers can jam out what you want, practise old or try new songs, be ready to step up to the mic and lead a song or two.

BEGINNERS UKULELE WORKSHOP
Beginner to Rockstar in 2 Hours.
WHEN: Tuesday 5th August 7pm to 9pm
COST: A couple of Gold Coins Donation to The NUkes (The Northern Ukuleles)
WHERE: The Old Spot Hotel, Dining Room, 1955 Main North Road Salisbury.

Ohana TK-35G-5 Five String Ukulele, How Did It Sound?

What did people think of the Ohana TK-35G-5 5 String uke I took to NUkes last night?

Was it louder, clearer, better than the Koa tenor I usually use for teaching?

I thought it sounded AMAZING, straight out of the box that afternoon, it played like a dream all night, just those strings needed tuning regularly while they stretched out.

Very loud and that low and High G string combo is fantastic, Jangle from the Octave G Strings but you still have single course of C E and A strings for picking and runs etc...

Very happy to have added this model to the range of Ohana ukuleles available in Australia.
