16 Mar 02 - 12:07 PM (#670221) Subject: RE: Help: INFO ON A VIOLIN-UKE INSTRUMENT From: Ma-K Thank you all for the good sites. A friend gave me one he had bought at a sale. He was going to make big money on E-Bay. When he saw the prices there he said it wasn't worth the trouble. I have already spent most of one day trying to tune it. It may end up on the wall........Mary |

29 Apr 09 - 06:58 PM (#2621532) Subject: RE: Help: Info On A Violin-Uke Instrument From: Beverly5876 I once had an instrument like this. It was given to me by a couple who I stayed with a lot when I was a child. Mine, also, was manufactured by a company in New Troy, MI. Unfortunately, while staying in a basement apartment my landlord's son (and/or friends) broke into my apartment and stole it along with the 6 string banjo (yes, I did say 6 strings) that my grandfather gave me. This was in North Georgia and I'm now in Washington but, I still frequently think of those instruments that went missing. |

Check it out: http://www.myspace.com/ukelin The Ukelin predates the invention of the Bowed Psaltery by at least 3 decades, though many in the Folk World persist in believing the latter instrument to be somehow medieval. |
