Another retrospective - one of those brands that comes along that makes you say, 'how, how are they doing this for the money??).

Never played an Uma I didn't think was terrific, and this was a fave.

Retrospective time - not mine - a video from the uke world I adored. If you love the Prince Sign O The Times album (as I do) you'll appreciate just how good this uke cover was by Will Grove-White and Ali. Impeccable.

I've always loved looking at Noah ukuleles. Few reasons.. he's a very nice bloke, it's a nice home grown brand, but perhaps most of all - HE LISTENS.

For that reason each Noah I have looked at just got better and better and better.

The #gotaukulele directory of handmade instruments. Don't shoot the messenger if links are old (I have not been updated !). But I love this page as I love recommending people check out getting a custom. Often can cost far less than you think they will!

A video I did about online shopping for #ukulele and why there are relatively few on my 'recommended stores' page - simply because I only recommend those that go an extra mile.

A page I was rather pleased with on #gotaukulele - naturally a few other sites copied and pasted it wholesale and passed it of as theirs. Such is life..

Another from the #gotaukulele archive - a topic so full of misinformation. Usually 'if your strings are going out tighten your tuners'. And also 'this is a good ukulele as it holds tuning'...

Video at the end with me with an impossibly big 'beard'..

Retrospective time. This brand are all over Amazon with tonnes of 5* reviews. Many YT channels rave about them too. I’ve reviewed a couple (and played a couple more). I just really don’t think they shine much at all.

Retrospective time - one of the real joys of doing Got A Ukulele was connecting with skilled local builders who were not on the ‘corporate’ model.

Matthieu at Caravelle Kitchen was one of those. A VERY talented builder!

Today's retrospective goes back to 2018 and was reminded to me by the kind donation today by Arnold who bought one from this brand

Essentially the same as Ohana roundbacks for a very small fraction of the price.

Another retrospective.

On launch they clearly spent a tonne of money at marketing.Turns out they were garbage.

Wht was illuminating was the amount of people who then emailed me to tell me of their ukes not being fit for purpose either.

With the retrospectives i've been sharing, i've naturally erred towards the ones I remember favourably.

Then, of course, there are brands that have never done that well on ANY review. I love Fender. Not so much their ukes

Hope people are enjoying the #gotaukulele retrospectives.
This one was from back in 2024. Not long after I think Pete retired from making ukes, but I heard tell he's been making a few more lately.
Great ukes!

A jump back to 2016 and the first in a long line of high end offerings from aNueNue which have been HUGELY popular. This was a huge step up for a brand that I had always liked, but had a somewhat patchy history.

Terrific ukes.

In more positive news - my thanks go to ALL of you who gave Got A Ukulele your vote in the 2025 Ukies.
Very uplifting to see it win the Best YouTube Channel for the third year. At a time I need to give it some breathing space this was very heartening a difficult time.

So, for the third year running, #gotaukulele has been nominated as best #ukulele YouTube channel for 2025. It won the award for 2023 and 2024. Can it make three on the bounce?
