Shameless self promotion!!! Hello ukulele friends! Once upon a time, I played music (including some tunes on the good ole ukulele) under the banner, "The Alcoholic Freshman". I recently put together a kickstarter campaign to bring this project back for some new songs and a reunion show.

Dear ukulele playing friends, I have been absent for far too long and there is no excuse. I apologize. Will you all forgive me? In order to make it up to you, I am giving away three uke leashes. The first person to comment on this status update and accept my apology will receive a leather uke leash. The second will receive a poly pro uke leash. The third will receive a poly pro designed for a tenor or baritone uke. Here's a link to the review that I did on these leashes a loooooong time ago. Man, I need to get back to some bloggin'

Our friend Kelly posted this awesome Oasis string review awhile back. It's very thorough and well done. Check it out if you're thinking about purchasing some of these.

I don't have a top end instrument(only a Cordoba 15cm laminate) to do a full comparison nor do I have other low g strings to compare these to.
