New Book Reviewed on Got a Ukulele
Posted by admin on November 22nd 2013 @ 8:51 pm
Read Barry Maz’s review of my new ukulele songbook Christmas on 34th Street:
Barry is the author of a number of great ukulele books for beginners that are available on Amazon.
Ryan's favorite starter ukulele: The Enya Nova U Concert Ukulele 23” on Amazon sounds great, is easy to play, in tune and nearly indestructable. "I left it in the car through the heat of summer to see what would happen, and it still plays beautifully."
