How to Get a Better Tone Out of Your Ukulele

In this post I'll share a few tips on how to get a nice tone on your Ukulele.

 Tip #1:  Make sure the back side of your Uke is not pressed against your body while you play, because it will smother the sound.  Hold it a few inches away.  This will allow for the wood to vibrate and create more sound.

 Tip #2:  Find your Ukulele's sweet spot.  This will be where your sound is warmest.  It's usually located where the finger board connects with the body.

 Tip #3:  When you strum, hold your hand in a fist with your pointer finger extended to strum.  This ensures that no extra fingers will bump or rub strings, and make unwanted muted or buzzing noises. 

Happy Ukulele-ing!
