Links
Google only turns up a few of the best ‘ukulele sites. The ones that are most popular and hyped (most of the time – I don’t consider Wikipedia an ‘ukulele site). All the rest are old and probably outdated or very small – just somebody’s hobby site. These small sites usually have the best info and aren’t trying to sell you anything.
