A digital piano is expensive, so I figured while waiting, i'm gonna spend 58usd on an ukulele... Very Happy
It's a little "guitar" with 4 strings, sounds kinda happy:




I'm buying it mostly for the geek factor geek

I'm just gonna add, it's not me in the video, so we dont get any miss understandings bounce


EDIT: And I just figured out I wanna go for a Tenor, they are kinda bigger, and longer fret = more "keys"...
They're the double price, but still cheaper than the cheapest acoustic guitar...

2nd EDIT: Why not just buy one now, and one another time? I want both little and big lol!

Hehe.. Well, when you say you are going to buy one I dont think anyone thought you sat there playing like an experienced Smile
So cant you play any piano at all? Buy a 2octave one. It cant be more than 100-200kr?!(20-30$)

lol!

Anyways, great playing Cool



I havent bought myself an ukulele yet, but I found a guy on ebay that ships to Norway, it'll cost me 2100nok / 375usd....

Here is the ukulele I'm gonna buy ( review... he starts playing at 8+ min, singing at 9, lulz ):


It's a Ohana TK-35G Tenor Ukulele as you can see..... Here it's on EBAY ^_^
It seems like the seller is trustable..... "Aquila nylgut strings"... those strings sounds great Smile

I'm kinda more excisted by the Ukulele, because it's such a special instrument compared to the digital piano I'm get shipped in October,
I was actually gonna get some cash from my dad, planned to buy the piano this week, but I'm not gonna get them before some
time so no digital piano this week, nor the next... But I'm pretty much saved up, so very soon.... I'm excited....

I'll bet the money i get from my dad, goes to a HD 1080p videocam when I get them, because my old videocam is not what it was 4 years ago, it's failing all the time...
Digital piano, Ukulele and a new HD videocam, all of those before xmas... First the piano next month, the the Ukulele and videocam in November...

I should've bought a new motherboard, cpu and ram for my computer too, but cant buy when I dont have more money to waste... Sad

You can get some quite exensive ukulele's, but usually if they're small they're cheaper...
The original ukulele, soprano is 21" (53 cm), too small to be expensive ^_^

Then you got the concert, tenor and baritone... Concerts are bigger than the soprano, but it still usually only got 12 frets, in comparison to the tenor that got 18 frets.
Ofcourse, 12 frets is probably good if you play chords and stuff, but it's quite limiting, it's like 61keys vs 88keys...

Myself like more options, therefor a tenor will suit me perfect. Most of the stuff I play require more than 12 frets, I've converted some final fantasy midi's to ukulele tabs/sheet,
and most of them reach beyond 12, but usually dont go higher than 18. Right now I'm thinking of find some LOTR sheets too...

Everyone should own an ukulele for sure.... It's tiny, great workout and it plays music lol!
