ukes

Even worse, they strike me as adolescent male at best, or, in the case of the "ukes," even just out of kindergarten.

The indescribable jazz music was see-sawing in and out of harmony, and if there were anything actually shy on the score it was more than plentifully supplied by the "ukes," mandolins and banjos of the visiting college boys.

And although I thought ukes were round, I have clearly got my stringed instruments mixed up.

I have personally hand-picked a collection that represents a variety of styles and designs including banjo ukes, mahogany and koa ukes, as well as art deco novelty ukes.

These ukes are all “players” as well as fine art objects.

Bow has tuned and laid ukes (as everyone in the know apparently calls them) around the table so that everyone can choose a colour.

Hi Beth, I didn't comment on the last post about ukes, because I have problems sorting out my own response to them.

We will make sock critters and play our ukes and we will go to bed early to wake up with the sun.

I don't much like when boys dress as charicatures of women, overly sexualised and painted dolls, but one of the things that is so NICE about uke-art is that the ukes are not going for exaggeration, they are just trying out what born-women get to do in their world.
