My apologies if things look weird, I am just beginning to learn editing. I will be posting more on the history of the MicroUke (currently at 1.1) in the future | My apologies if things look weird, I am just beginning to learn editing.

Now I do apologise because the quality is not the best; it was done with my internal laptop mic and had to have a lot of amplification and noise removal, but hopefully at this price you get a good glimpse of how the uke sounds tonally and a sample of my style of playing. The files I post are all intended to be downloadable, remixable, and sharable, (creative commons license) though I am not sure how to license content on this wiki. Since so little is posted, that's not a problem right now. | Now I do apologise because the quality is not the best; it was done with my internal laptop mic and had to have a lot of amplification and noise removal, but hopefully at this price you get a good glimpse of how the uke sounds tonally and a sample of my style of playing.

Micro Uke Version 1.2 has arrived! see below. New graphic has been designed | |||
[[image:IMG_2222.JPG width="447" height="338"]] | |||
There are currently no images of microUke1.1 or 1.0 (for which no label/decal exists) but I will post as time allows. Far more important is the music/sound. | |||
New features of 1.2 are boring - 2 new notches in the heel for fret tension and friction | |||
1.2 has retained the preferred method of fretting which is agnostic to the perpendicularity of the frets. | |||
More later...</pre></div> | |||
