    as a former guitarist, who played this piece many decades alone to a point, where i could no more read without playing it on auto, i must applaud beautiful prolonged tone.

    • @GBandi
      @GBandi  3 года назад +4

      Thanks Thelma! It's a great piece, and not too difficult on the ukulele. I think classical music sounds very good on ukulele, especially baroque music. The instrument has a similar feel as the period instruments. Although a true baroque musician probably wouldn't like this statement... :D

      Prelude no1 , by J.S.Bach
      Arrange by T.E.Preece
      I was once told, play it at your own pace, an feeling, if they say its played at 84 beats you might play at 80 , i think Bach played it how he wanted too.

      @GBandi  3 года назад +1

      Thanks a lot! It is actually not an expensive ukulele, it's an Ortega. But I also think it sounds very good, when I was trying different ones in the shop this sounded better than some other more expensive ones. So maybe I was just lucky to find one which turned out better, it sometimes happens :) I did experiment with different sets and combinations of strings though, that counts a lot too.

      @startingfingerstyle 3 года назад +1

      @@GBandi You're so right about some being better than others. I play Kala tenor uke. It cost quite a lot more than the Brunswick I learned on, but I'm not convinced it sounds £300 better! Which strings are you using now?

    • @GBandi
      @GBandi  3 года назад +1

      @@startingfingerstyle on this recording I use a combination of Aquila nylgut and supernylgut. So it's the mix of the 2 sets, because that's how it sounded the best and also kept a fairly good intonation in the higher positions (still not perfect though). But I don't use a mix of 2 sets normally, I just really wanted this recording to sound good :) I want to try the fluorocarbon strings next, because I've heard good things about them. However I'm not a fan of carbon strings on the classical guitar, but I will see :)
      I also want to buy a better ukulele, but here in Budapest the possibilities are limited. I could order of course, but I don't like to buy instruments without trying and playing them, so I'd rather just wait for the perfect possibility :)

      @@GBandi Thank you. Never saw this reply. If ones puts a low G string (that's what you mean right?) on their uk........does it affect anything besides the way it sounds. Do you play songs/notes any differently? Hope this makes sense. What kind of Ukulele are you playing? (if you can be specific on model # that would be great.) Thanks!

    • @GBandi
      @GBandi  Год назад +3

      @@wendym2544 Yes, you can buy 'low G" ukulele string sets, for soprano and concert models too. Aquila for example has different types. It doesn't affect anything, if you are playing the melody on the top 3 strings anyway. If you use the G string in melodies (when it makes sense), then it won't work of course.
      If you are playing chords, everything stays the same, it will just sound a bit more like a small guitar :) however it looses a bit its typical 'Hawaiian' sound, what one has in mind when thinking of ukulele :)
      This instrument is an Ortega RU5. Quite cheap model, but it sounds surprisingly good, or maybe I was just lucky with this specific model.. However the intonation in the higher positions is not always perfect. But if you are using it for chords, I think it's a good choice, has a nice warm sound.

I could not figure out from looking at your fingers, lol. It doesn't seem so to me, but the sound is so good that I can be mistaken.

      oh wow thank you! I am trying to play campanella wherever I can, but of course it's not always possible, also because this ukulele is with a low G, so not in re-entrant tuning.
