BagEndBoys

Bag End Boys

“The Bag End Boys write contemporary pop songs that feature melodies that sometimes swirl in neat, unexpected ways. They can also cut a fine cover version of the Beatles classic, "The Word." Most amazing is how two ukes and two voices can sound so full! Further proof that the ukulele can rock and pop like its six string relative.” – Jim Beloff, Flea Market Music

SnowshoeUkulele

Snowshoe Ukulele

Snowshoe Ukulele Company started out simply in 2005 with the building of a mahogany soprano to play around the summer campfires. That didn’t turn out as planned as every time the uke would come out, someone new wanted to buy it. Thus the first orders were taken and have been growing since. The names have changed to protect the innocent. So if you find a Stephen Paul or Northern Ukulele in a pawn shops, we all had to start somewhere! That first soprano is still here in the shop and played often. Check out our website and keep coming back as we’re in the process of building it.

Just browsing over both books, they look fantastic! I'm a guitarist and uke player for over 25 years and was thinking about writing a ukulele book but you've already written what I think are the best, most comprehensive and thorough books I've ever seen for the instrument. I just might end up buying every book you've written and I'll be giving my highest recommendation for your books to my friends and students. Thank you so much for taking the time to write such great books!Peter Rhee
