What kind of ukulele does jake play

The pronounced width and thickness of the neck is a unique feature of the Shima Ukulele, and is the reason we introduce it as the "JS Soprano Wide-neck". It also has the same amount of frets 18 frets as a tenor which allows the same arrangements to be played. The final design of the Shima Ukulele is the result of several iterations of prototyping, testing, analyzing and refining the ukulele and its component parts.

Once the design and materials met our exacting standards, we located an instrument manufacturer in China that could specially craft each Shima Ukulele while ensuring consistency, quality, and affordability. In order to maintain consistent quality, each ukulele is personally inspected by Jake or Bruce. This inspection involves tuning up each ukulele, checking the action of the strings, checking all frets for buzzes as well as making sure the intonation meets our quality standards.

Every customer that orders through shimaukulele. We have a 14 day return policy. Once your return is approved, you can ship your ukulele back to us and we will refund you upon its receipt.

It was the result of a lot of sleepless nights. But it was great. The other tunes are all original pieces that feature the ukulele. It features the ukulele in different settings, with different ensembles, like with the violin, with strings, with drums and bass and all of that.

Your ears kind of gravitate toward different things. That will lead you down another road which will amount to a few more original tunes or just another idea for an arrangement for a song. FJ: How do you time your new releases? Do you follow any personal recording schedule? The last album, Peace Love Ukulele , was my first independent release.

With that one, I just kind of took my time with it, which was really nice. Do you want to do a whole album of Bach covers, or something? They just never stop. Their passion for music and their curiosity for their instrument just drives them to do these incredible things. JS: Oh, yeah. Actually, a couple years ago, I think it was at the High Sierra Music Festival, Bela and Chris were doing a workshop together, so they invited me to come up.

And we did like a little minute improvisational jam. And that was one of the highlights for me of my life. It was just really fantastic musically. JS: I think we just picked a key to start in and we just kind of went from there. It may not display this or other websites correctly. You should upgrade or use an alternative browser.

I know that Jake Shimabukuro uses a custom Tenor I have in my possession a Kala KA-TG which looks quite a bit smaller than Jake's instrument even though its also advertised as a tenor Are there slight variations between tenors with size as well? I'd like a larger instrument Rubbertoe New member.

You can buy a baritone and string it with gCEA strings Aquila makes bari strings in this tuning or you can buy the standard tuning along with the gCEA strings and swap the two g strings to get GCEA tuning. Is there any reason why they don't normally string them like the other ukes?

I'm not sure. I think when the baritone was invented it was simply strung differently and much later, Aquila found that there was a demand for traditional C tuning for baris. Taylor Swift. Daniel Ho.
