Just found this in my local charity shop looking on the Justin web site it appears to be a soprano Ukelele made by Puretone its in very good condition just the tiniest bit of wear are Puretone any good do any of you have a Uke what are they like to play its looks a fun thing I have managed to tune it and play some basic chords (no fret inlays on this one promise) cost £25.00 thought it would add a different sound bought it on a whim really

Uke’s are great fun, but I regard them as ‘accessories’ 
You have to sing while playing if you are solo or otherwise play with others.
Needs inlays 
Happy NUD John! I have a uke that was gifted to me, but I haven’t done much with it.
Ha Ha
And he doesn’t have to wait 120 working days to have fun playing it

There are four ukuleles in my instrument collection, because that’s how things go around here. 
I got the first one (carbon fiber) for boat use, because I wanted to work on my calluses, and a carbon fiber soprano uke was cheaper and more portable than a boatproof guitar. Naturally, things progressed from there…
I’ve never heard of Pure Tone before today, but if you have fun with it, well, why not?

Hi John,
Happy NUD 
I wish you a lot of fun with it … 
I have 2 uke’s myself and I have been learning chords and playing songs for uh …2 whole days 
…and also a while ago.
I should pick it up more, but the grown-up guitar always wins the roll call vote here 
Greetings

Hi John, you inspired me to open my case and get my ukulele out. They are brilliant. Just a suggestion, try looking at Over the Rainbow by Israel Kamakawiwo’ole. You get two songs same chords, or Pearly Shells with Uke Mullum, great fun, John, cheers HEC

I believe it is every ukulele owner’s duty to learn Amanda Palmer’s fabulous Ukulele Anthem
Here’s my version, name-checking some of the old forumites at the end
