Hello!
I've been playing string instruments since I was first introduced to a guitar in school when I was eleven years old. The guitar in my userpic here is my faithful old Chantry acoustic cutaway, Guinevere. I also have a mandolin named Gwen, grew up playing the recorder, organ and piano and am a singer.
A year ago a fellow string player seduced me into the world of Ukuleles.
I chose Mahalo because I'm on disability and can't afford a lot, and I find that the Mahalo ukuleles are fun and sound pretty good! I own seven so far, and they all have names:
Morgana (red)
Daffyd (yellow)
Illyria (pale blue)
Mystique (dark blue)
Angelus (black)
Spike (white)
Peril (purple)
So yes... I'm addicted to the adorable little Hawaiian guitar! I don't play often, but I find it so simple to learn. I would like to have played more this year, but my disability made me quite ill and so it has to wait for now.
I'm looking forward to meeting other ukulele fans here!

I've just posted a video of Iz because it's beautiful and I couldn't wait to share. The funeral in the video is actually his own and I love how his friends and family turned it into the celebration of life that it ought to be - and his version of Somewhere Over The Rainbow is simply stunning.
I shall definitely ask Tally if I can share her Youtube stuff. She also has an album for download so I'll try to get you the details for that too :)
