A swine harp makes a musical sound, but I don't consider it a real musical instrument either. A swine harp is a shoestring stretched across a pigs arse...

fortyearspickn Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Jaw Harp? cause of 52% of chipped front teeth below the Mason Dixon Line. Point is - a ukulele is not in the same class as a flat top, arch top... Every time I pick my uke up, I put it down frustrated after 10 minutes, and grab a guitar. Or course, there are always exceptions: Iz Kamakawiwo'ole was one in a hundred million in his mastery of the uke to complement his equally unique voice.

George Harrison was supposed to be proficient on a Uke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well it’s credited to Linda too, but what did she write. She’s was a photographer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's something up'n'light to the tiny 4-string that didn't match Harrison's early solo years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
