The Ukulele Pacemaker


Can't work, but I can try to play! ⚡

🫀 All About Me.

Welcome. I'm Phil a 58 year old bloke. I live in the countryside but near the seaside. I have 2 grown-up kids who live close by, I share my home with my very understanding Wife and my daughter's French Bulldog who shares his time between us and her!

I sadly am unable to work due to a dodgy ticker. So rather than just sitting indoors I have developed an obsession, collected a ridiculous amount of ukuleles, drive my neighbours round the bend, and am teaching myself to play the thing.

⚠️ Today's Pacemaker Grumble: "Tried to practice a basic G-chord for an hour today. My fingers look like i I've slid down a cliff face and the dog left the room in disgust. Progress happens, slowly."

🎸 Adopt-A-Uke (The Wife says so!)

I have purchased far too many of these 4 string beauties but found real enjoyment tinkering with them. I can't keep them all so here you will find the instruments looking for new homes.

Kala KA-15S Soprano

The perfect little companion instrument completely sorted out by me.

🔧 Upgrades Done: Filed the sharp frets, lowered the string action at the nut, and installed premium Aquila Nylgut strings.
