Book excerpt: The ukulele has made a resurgence, as everyone from hipsters, to Hawaiians, to retirees has found joy in the instrument. If there is a Stradivarius equivalent in the ukulele world - one brand that stands head and shoulders above all others when it comes to tone, playability and beauty, it is Moore Bettah ukuleles, which are painstakingly handcrafted by one man, Chuck Moore, in a solar-powered workshop on the Big Island of Hawaii.Part one of the book allows the reader a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the Moore Bettah workshop during the construction of these unparalleled instruments, from selection of the wood, to sanding, routing, neck carving, inlay work, and finishing of the instrument. Through glossy color photographs, the reader is able to peek over Chuck's shoulder during each step, as Chuck's own words provide descriptions and explanations.Part two of the book interviews numerous Moore Bettah owners, and they detail their joy over owning one of these ukuleles, and explain the characteristics that make them stand out in a crowded field of manufacturers. You will discover how the inspiration for many of Chuck's custom pieces originates from the personal stories and experiences of the individual owners.Finally, part three of the book showcases the pinnacle of Chuck Moore's creations, the ukulele displayed at the 2016 Ukulele Guild of Hawaii show. Moore tells the story of its creation, and readers will also get to hear from the lucky owner of this instrument.Building and Owning a Bettah Ukulele allows the fortunate few that own these masterpieces the opportunity to see how their instruments have been built, and it lets those that long for a Moore Bettah of their own to have a small piece of the Moore Bettah magic.

Download or read book The Ukulele Handbook written by Gavin Pretor-Pinney and published by A&C Black. This book was released on 2013-01-01 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ukulele has gone from strength to strength in recent years, undergoing a massive resurgence. You can hear the uke all over the place, from trendster indie rock to top ten pop songs, from unshakeable TV ads to YouTube megahits. And this obsession shows no sign of abating - all over the country people are picking up a ukulele and starting to strum, at home, in classes and down at the pub. Schools are even replacing the faithful recorder with a jazzy, inexpensive uke. Famous idlers Gavin Pretor-Pinney and Tom Hodgkinson have spent hours idling away on their ukuleles to produce the ultimate uke handbook: an illustrated guide to its history crossed with a how-to guide and songbook. This is the book that will bring the underground movement into the mainstream.The first half of the book delves into the rich history of this eccentric little instrument, from its birth in Hawaii to its popularity across the world, with a timeline from 1879 to today and a ukulele hall of fame that includes George Formby, Hawaiian legend Israel Kamakawiwo'ole and YouTube ukulele superstar Jake Shimabukuro.Then on to the practicalities: the anatomy of the ukulele, which uke to buy, how to play it, how to strum, pick, read chord charts and tune the strings. Once you know all this, you can get playing the songbook, which includes a wide spread of songs from medieval lays and nursery rhymes to blues and rock 'n roll. Beautiful presentation and tab notation make reading the music easy, even for beginners.With the highest production values, a light touch and an irresistible instrument at centre stage, this book is a must-have for all aspiring Formbys.
