JUST GOT A "UKE"...(pineapple shaped) Oscar Schmidt by Washburn for my B-day. Is it any good?

Comments welcome. It won't hurt my feelings. Was it a decent purchase?

* Also, do you suppose Hal will summon the Ukulele Gods and rain volcanic fire on my humble Midwestern domicile if I
don't go to a luthier and get that low g-string put on there? In other words, (without the silliness) How important is
that?

At the same store, they had a Oscar S. that had double strings like a twelve string guitar...weird looking thing but it
sure sounded Nice. And they had one sweet, sweet Fender. Haven't been this excited since I got my guitar.
Anyways I digress...


A Very Excited New uke- owner, (it is the little things in life)

Cori

Thanks

Hi Cori

That sounds like fun.

Are you going to post a picture?

Yeah Cori, I would like to see a pic of the new toy too.....

I have been eyeballing a few different models for quite some time now, but just can't seem to take the leap....

Hey Cori, does it look like mine ( see profile pic)? I love mine. Nice tone, very playable and half the price of the Martin they tried to sell me.

Howdy, Cabro

Yes, I believe we have a match.Thanks for the feedback and thanks for commenting, Sir.
I'm glad to hear I made a half decent purchase.

Thanks again, man!

With all the uke-lessons recently posted on TG, it sounds like the perfect time to get one!

Congrats, Cori!

Thanks, Al!

Happy birthday CORI..

Happy Birthday Cori. Congrats on the new ukulele. I can't wait to hear you play it.

Hey is that a kiwi ukulele I see there Willem?

Chas - looks like a mammoth kiwi to me, what do you reckon? Didn't they die out with the dodos and megafauna? Very rare beasties.

Thanks Willem & Michele.

Willem, that is one cool ukulele!
