DDX shared an enthusiastic e-mail with me today of her fascination with the Cavaquinho. Here's a link to a player on myspace, http://www.myspace.com/ocavaquinho which has a Spanish classical sound. The videos below show off the cavaquinho and it's distinct metallic sound compared to a standard ukulele.
I wanted to create this blog as a place where I can store and retrieve information for future reference. I chose the name Humble Uker Ramblings because I have started out strumming my father's 1950's painted Harmony ukulele. I think that the greatest appeal of the ukulele as "the people's instrument" is it's humble simplicity. My contact email is HumbleUker@gmail.com. I have also been working on a blog for the Baritone Ukulele called Humble Baritonics.
