Jam Session Notes

The SOUP jam sessions are a great way to enjoy your instrument with others.  Sometimes our more experienced members offer up some handy tips.  Many people find it easier to 'see it in person' - then try the tip at home. This page will feature tips and ideas that have been shared specifically at the jams, either as 2 Minute Tips or After-Jam Tutorials.

Two Handy Gizmos!

Micro Clip-on Tuner
--(D'Addario NS Micro Clip-on Tuner) These are handy if you are tired of hunting for your tuner when you switch ukuleles.  They are tiny chromatic tuners that clip onto the headstock, and you can leave them there when you put your ukulele into its case.  They are available for $24.99 at Long & McQuade and John Bellone.  Libby buys them at $13.47 plus shipping from this source on Amazon: https://www.amazon.ca/DAddario-NS-Micro-Clip-On-Tuner/dp/B005FKF1PY/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A1Q4J5PE6ZMR6Z_


Clip on Pick-up--Turn any acoustic ukulele into an electric ukulele for about $10!!  They are made by various companies at various price points.  If you are interested, check with Rudy, as he may bulk order some of these.  Clip the pickup onto the headstock, plug the other end into any amplifier, and Presto:  Ukulele Rock Star!
