The Firefly Banjo Ukulele, like a luminescent lightning bug, is great to have around a campfire, and attracts lots of attention. This marvelous hybrid combines the ease of playing the uke with the distinctive twang of a traditional banjo. Weighing in at just under one pound, the Firefly is lightweight, travels well, and sounds delightful.

2 Islander Ukuleles

The mission at Islander by Kanile'a 'Ukulele is to "Spread Aloha" all over the world through music. The Islander 'ukulele is an excellent entry-level instrument with great playability and sound quality at an affordable price. The Islander 'ukulele is the perfect introduction to the Kanile'a 'Ukulele line as it is based on the more advance Kanile'a 'Ukulele design. Like the Kanile'a 'ukulele, the quality of materials and intonation is personally hand-inspected prior to leaving our facility in Kaneohe, Hawaii.

Blues Ukulele Book & CD
Donated by Twin Cities Ukulele Club member Tom Ehlinger

Blues Ukulele is a collection of 16 blues standards arranged for GCEA-tuned ukulele by Fred Sokolow. Each song comes with two arrangements: The first one gives you lyrics, melody and uke chord grids to strum while singing. The second is a uke chord/melody tab arrangement, so you can play the song’s melody and chords simultaneously with a lot of blues licks thrown in. A CD is included with arrangements of each song played and sung by Fred Sokolow.
