Any Ukulele Players Out There

[foolproofoak]

Yesterday i picked up a Martin style 0 Ukulele in very good condition, and i was wondering if anyone here knew anything about these ukuleles.

Here's a link for what CF Martin has to say about ukuleles.

Here's something to aspire to.

If this doesn't inspire you towards greatness, I don't know what will.

This one has always been a favorite of mine, long before it made it to mainstream in TV and film.

That was a great way to start the morning, with coffee of coarse. Added- why did you post Tiny Tim, yuck!

My dad has been playing one to woo the girls since high school. It may have worked. His most notable song is "Princess Papoolies Papayas"

foolprooffoak, I have a son that works in a music store, was there anything in particular you were looking for? I know he knows a little about ukes, but don't know how much.

No, I wasn't looking for anything in particular. I am a guitar player and own a Martin, and I know a little bit about these ukuleles. I am just always surprised by how knowledgeable the people on this forum are about such a wide range of subjects and was just seeing if anyone had any fun facts.
