This is an EXCELLENT video. I wish I had found all this advice in one video when I was doing research about learning to play the Ukulele. I concur, UAS is very real!! I started playing a year ago and have a Soprano, two Concerts, two Tenors and one Baritone and I love them all. Love also that you mentioned Southern Ukulele Store and World Of Ukes. I have a Ukulele from each of those stores. Always first class service! Highly recommend as did you! I actually bought my first Ukulele, after doing lots of research, via Amazon and it remains one of my favourite Ukuleles to play. This video is great advice for those thinking about buying their first Ukulele, even for those who are beginner/intermediate players. Bravo and 'Shamai'. Love your Channels! Thank you for all that you do!
Thanks Wendy. It's all info I've had on my website for quite a while but now I have a bit more time........... ;-) Totally agree about Southern and World of Uses, both fantastic shops and worthy of a mention. Thanks again and keep strumming.
Thanks Chris and a huge Thank You for the blog mention as well. I know we are pretty much on the same page when it comes to advice on buying but it always nice to have it confirmed. Hope you and family are all keeping safe and healthy.
Thank you for this helpful video. I love your welsh dragon Ukulele. My father was from Wales, and he took me there when I was a child a few times. I live in Canada, wondering if I could buy a Ukelele like that.
Thanks Rachel. U.A.S.? No such thing. It’s a coincidence that I bought a ukulele while I was buying another ukulele. I was in my local (Headcorn) shop placing an order for a rather expensive Kala, before I left I picked up a £70 Ortega pineapple which ended up following me home. It’s still one of my favourites.
My c string broke yesterday and I can't figure out how to put a new one on can you make a video showing how to put strings on it would be helpful for me and other people?😁
Hi, sorry to hear you have broken a string. I will certainly try and get a video done about changing strings but in the meantime, what type of bridge is on your ukulele? Here is a good video which shows the different types but I will try and get to change some strings soon. Good luck with your string. th-cam.com/video/FmrISmF6O3I/w-d-xo.html
Ukulele Wales yeah u 2 keep safe and after summer holidays I might visit Cwmtawe because I’ve actually miss the school and I hate college because ive been bullied by girls in my course and she broke my wrist 😐
Ukulele Wales just received my kmise concert ukulele from amazon , it’s my first ukulele, I already play guitar so thought I’d give it a go , thanks for the tip, it’s a real good quality beginner 👍

Early viewer here🔔🔔 i loved this video, i cant wait to see more content from u.. Keep it up!!!
Thank You, glad you enjoyed and hope it hlped in your buying decisions.
thanks rachel
You're very welcome.
Great information! I would have like to have seen this when I was first starting out.
Thanks Steve, hopefully it will help those still looking at buying "their first". Hope you are keeping well and safe.

Have replied to you on Facebook Heather. Glad to have helped.
So the baritone is out for a first Ukulele. I really enjoy my Ubass so I was thinking of getting a Ukulele of a similar size.
You can get baritone strings (I think) to tune it GCEA (like a ukulele) but you could also consider a tenor uke - lots more choice.

@@UkuleleWales I have a slotted bridge. And thank you 😁😁
Hi miss Webbly it’s Rachel Harris I left Cwmtawe last year 😊
Hi Rachel, how are you lovely. Hope you are keeping well. :-)
Ukulele Wales yeah I’m okay I’d much rather be in Cwmtawe than college to be honest, what about you?
@@rachelharris3195 Still enjoying school but obviously we can't be there right now. At least I can play more ukulele! Stay safe Rachel
Ukulele Wales yeah u 2 keep safe and after summer holidays I might visit Cwmtawe because I’ve actually miss the school and I hate college because ive been bullied by girls in my course and she broke my wrist 😐
What do you think about mahalo ukes?
They are the very cheap end of the market. TBH, there are better beginner ukuleles out there.
I love the vids!
Thanks Eddy, glad you are enjoying.
What brand is the first uke you play on this video, you said was about £40 ?
Hi, sorry about the late reply, work stuff all week. It is a Kmise ukulele. That particular uke is the concert Okoume model. Ebay and Amazon
Ukulele Wales just received my kmise concert ukulele from amazon , it’s my first ukulele, I already play guitar so thought I’d give it a go , thanks for the tip, it’s a real good quality beginner 👍
