Have yall ever used a ukulele in your song?

Maybe it was due to being dragged to church on Sundays as a kid where they played an organ during the hymns/songs, but the organ sounds like nails on a chalkboard to me. Even bagpipes are a relief after listening to an organ.

Fair enough. Childhood trauma is an acceptable answer for any aversion, in my book.

My daughter had some ukulele lessons at school. She was getting pretty good. I’d actually bought her a $60 model from Guitar Center that wasn’t really bad, and she was finally getting use out of it. For her birthday, I bought her a nicer model, and got myself one as well, so we could play together.

That was all she needed to stop playing the ukulele ever again.

It's better than an organ anyway, though that's not saying much...

Yes, organ bore to death doesn't it



...even if I read you post as meant to provoke a bit....for that are "really bored with organ" jump 9 min and Clemsons Les Paul into Marshall....

This ..... the way it SHOULD be used.
Standard Uke, Baritone Uke, archtop guitar, acoustic fretless bass and Weissenborn slide guitar.

I've used a Rondo Ukulele Bass guitar, but no high-pitched guitar.

I don't know if the standard ukulele inspired the ubass, but that turned out ok.

There's a uke player in Portland whose real name is...Chuck Cheeseman

I bought my Missus a 25€ uke for Xmas 15 years ago. I learned a few chords, then haven‘t touched it in 14 years. It is practically unplayable/untuneable. We were talking about getting a ‚real one‘ but it never happened.
I‘d definitely use one if it was decent and setup properly.
The song that always comes to mind with a uke is McCartney‘s ‚Ram On.‘
