Who here owns a ukulele, of any sort?

Today as I was in town I wandered into Hobgoblin (a folk instrument store in Leeds), to enquire as to whether they had the appropriate tuning pegs for my crappy old ukulele (which is missing 2 pegs, and only has 1 string, and terrible intonation), they did, but they told me they had to be fitted, which was obviously trying to get me to pay as much as a decent ukulele would cost new. So they let me try what they had there, some amazingly good value for money ones, made of surprisingly good wood. The one which most swayed me was a baritone one which cost £40, it happened to be tuned about a step and a half lower than the standard baritone DGBE, so it was BEG#C# or something, which actually sounds a lot warmer. It's only got 4 strings but it's so easy to be creative on the thing, it's unbelievable. I'm so tempted despite my lack of money...


Nice rendition of Little Wing on bariton ukulele.
