Pick it up and pluck it!
Many of the lovely people I have met at festivals and ukulele clubs have said that they like the sound of the basses and think that they’d like to give it a go, but just dont know where to start to learn to play. Like all things ‘uke, getting started is easy and lots of fun from the outset.
