My Ukulele Toolkit. Actual Tools And Other Things That Are Important.

This is a long and I fear rambling video at times. You can see some of my favorite ukulele tools and toys and devices and then learn my ukulele magic secrets! Tools are things I use to make music, not just to set up and repair a ukulele, which I seldom do. Feel free to increase the speed or skip around. My Ukulele Toolkit. Actual Tools And Other Things That Are Important. One day I will make a video which shows my actual tools. This will have to suffice until then. I do not use string winders or fancy tuners or string action rulers or fishing line. Eno ET-33 is my tuner! These can be purchased at Walmart for less than $5. If you have a favorite tool, you are welcome to share in comments.

Good morning. Thanks to you, I have bought many new and used ukuleles to learn about different sizes, materials, finishes, and strings, and I have learned a few things. Many ukes came with poor string setups resulting in poor intonation. I have learned how to set string heights and change strings. One of my favorite tools is the inexpensive plastic string winder. It saves a lot of time when installing new strings. The metal string height gauge was useless to me because I could not read it precisely. I now use shims of different thickness to measure string heights. And I think two of the better modern inventions for ukuleles are machine gear tuners and digital turners. They make life easier and simpler. Thank you for your listing of what works for you. Rick

Thanks, Rick. I have many tools that I never use including
string winders. I'm really happy when people share what works for them when it's not how I do things! 😊😊😊😊😊
