So I was asked last week by my boss if I could start teaching ukelele lessons and in a similar vain to how I ended up playing bass I just agreed to take on a few pupils.

That meant I actually had to learn how to properly play uke. Wanting to do this on the cheap I just bought the cheapest concert size Ukelele I could find with a solid top. Soo I've ended up with a surprisingly nice Harley Benton model for a mere £56 including a gigbag, spare strings and postage!

Oh my! I didn't even know that was a thing... I need it. Looks more like a serious jazz instrument ;)

I hadn't realised it was a thing either and to be honest, I'm still not sure it is. Might be a joke.

I love the art deco headstock on it.
