Kiwaya/Luna LC-2 (KTC-2) with Martin M610 Graphite Grey Strings. 11 Month Ukulele Progress.
This is a dream uke for me.
My new to me Kiwaya Luna LC-2. The exact same as the Kiwaya KTC-2, this model was only sold and available in Japan.
This uke only weights 380 grams with the Keystone style Gotoh UPTs. Extremely light and resonate. It just dances in your hands when you play. A truly amazing instrument!
This particular uke was imported used from Japan by a Ukulele Underground member and avid collector of ukes. It then traded hands a couple of times trough various trades and such, all the while I kept track of it. I was so intrigued by this uke and loved the dark sunburst satin finish. I have never even seen one of these with this style.
Well, a super sweet and dear friend on the UU ...

Just a little demonstration of my struggle with trying to count my strumming patterns.. I don't know why this is hard for me, but it is.

This little tune is the result of noodling on my new aNueNue Green Bire UC-110 concert ukulele. This little tune reminds me of a cowboy playing his guitar while riding across the desert. Singing a melancholy song to the gentle lope of his horses stride. I hope you enjoy this simple little tune as much as I do. Uke on!

    Question: Are you left-handed. Is that the reason for the unique strumming style?

    • @PawPawUke
      @PawPawUke Месяц назад

      @phyllismorris94 Hello. Thank you so much for the question. No one has really asked me about the way I strum, and I have not found anyone else that strums this way as of yet. I am using my tablet on portrait mode to film the videos... this flips the image like a mirror. I need to try to do them a different way, I am not very experienced at recording myself.😆 I am, and I play, right-handed. The "unique" strumming style is just from me playing with the uke like a kid and not doing any real lessons.🤣 I actually started strumming regular, but as I was playing so much a day I ended up laying my hand down onto the soundboard and just using my fingers to strum with a flicking motion. I found this let me play a lot longer without tiring as easy. My fingers have some problems, but I also found that I can make some of those problems work for me. I hope that explains it a bit. I may try to do a video to show some of the problems I have with my fingers and the ways I have worked around that to keep playing. I have also found this allows a lot of precision when strumming, with enough practice that is. I can strum any one, two, or three strings independently of the others. I don't know how to do this in a sond or anything yet, but I'm working on it. I think there are a lot of possibilities for some unique sounds. Again, thank you for the question and watching my vid.
