Which uke to take on holiday?
Difficult choice – would you dare venture onto the beach with a posh Martin 3k!?

Another new uke!
Here’s another new Kala uke bought this morning at The Music Dept, St Albans – remember all our members get a 5% discount there. We love these ukes and they are fast becoming the Ver Players instrument of choice in St Albans. With so many people buying them we’re going to have to add name tags so we don’t do uke swaps every time we get together. They are beautifully made, sound and play well, and feature that lovely slim body and arched back!
