I want to start playing the Ukulele and I want to know some of the basic things I will need, besides the Ukulele.
~Thanks!
Answer
Ukes don't really requite too much of a starter kit. If you really wanted just the basics you can just get the ukulele and be on with it (and download a free uke tuning app of find a website) But, if you are willing to spend a bit more these are the things i reccomend -
-A tuner (an electric guitar tuner is fine, as long as it can tune in the key of C which is normal guitar key. Tune the strings from top to bottom to GCEA)
(not so necessary things)
-A case. You really don't want it to get scratched and banged up.
-If you'd like you might want something to pretty it up you might want a nice fretboard sticker or something (for example -

- A stand. Without a stand it will be falling and getting knocked over all the time when you aren't using it.
- Although it is traditionally played without, you may also want to get a pick. It's all preference really so i recommend that you see yourself whether you like pick or hand style playing.
For the uke, i find mahalo or lanakai to be the best for begginers. A good one for you would probably be between 50-80 dollars (US/Canadian)
To help learn i recommend you go to youtube and www.ukuleleunderground.com and http://www.ukulele.nl/chordfinder.php (try the play along songs!)
