Introductions!

Let's get this party started! I'm Esther, your friendly mod, and I have been playing ukulele for, oh, just under a month. I have a Lanikai pineapple soprano and love it -- when I decided, kind of spur of the moment, that I wanted this in my life, the sound on the pineapple uke just blew me out of the water.

I'm 27, I live in Chicago and I have played piano and some wind instruments before, but never a string. Courtney Welbon's cover of the "To be or not to be" soliloquy from Hamlet was the thing that tipped me over. So far it's looking like a fairly excellent choice.

If this is as slow a week at work as I think it'll be, hopefully I'll be able to put together some links and resources for this place pretty soon. But yes, pop on by and say hello -- I'm very much looking forward to seeing who else enjoys ukes on Dreamwidth!

Hi! I'm thinking about taking up the ukulele in the new year. I'm told by various people it is pretty simple to learn. I'll keep an eye on this community if I go through with it. :)

Hello! So far I've found it been super simple, and overall I can't recommend having a ukulele enough. :) Please feel free to swing by anytime!

I've been playing for a year or so. I was used to guitar and I can't believe how simple the ukulele is to learn!

I can promise that you will fall in love and that you will never regret buying a ukulele :)
