A very simple arrangement of the theme of Handel’s Sarabande. Again from “Solo Ukulele für Einsteiger”.

In Winterswijk I had the opportunity to obtain a Schaepe in mint condition. I readily upgraded it with better tuners too. The tabs for this arrangement are in “Solo Ukulele für Einsteiger”.

A little Sor minuet. I played it on a really cheap ukulele: Ok, I bought it used. However, I was told the price was only 13 Euros on Ebay when it was new. It’s a “Tokky” ukulele. Isn’t it amazing how much ukulele you can get for so little money nowadays?

A wonderful, extraordinarily fascinating piece from Susato’s Danserye:

Again a piece on the pineapple Brüko (this time only on this ukulele). A funny little dance piece from the Danserye.

On each of the ukuleles I’m playing three nice little pieces: Guter Mond, du gehst so stille Der Mond ist aufgegangen Au clair de la lune You can find tabs for these pieces…

Again a piece played on two Brüko ukuleles. As a matter of fact, two versions of this piece are contained in Susato’s Danserye, and I combined them in this recording. Again everything was recorded with identical settings.  

The Zarabanda francesa by Gaspar Sanz (from Book 1, page 12). The first Brüko is an experimental pineapple soprano with Aquila Red strings. The second is my good ol’ Brüko No.6 with brown Worth medium strings. Both recordings were made with exactly the same settings. The difference in loudness between the ukuleles was preserved. (The…

… and it looks like I have a weakness for playing veeeery simple piecelets with the uke. I just recognized that I already have a whole lot of Christmas Carols (German and English) on Youtube. So I made a little playlist, just in case you need some ukulele Christmas Carol overdose… https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL4MnwRVSfko51dPyxcHxyacShPGEopuD_ If you also…
