Kilin Reesce || Pono Nui Octave Mandolin/ Baritone Review

http://theukulelesite.com says,

Kilin shows a new instrument that will be available soon. We showed you the UL sized Pono octave mandolin here - https://youtu.be/f7FNZ00cMHY and now this is the MN sized body and longer scale. Both styles in various woods and finishes will be available before the end of year at our website and Kilins too here - http://www.krstrings.com/. From either of us you will be able to order it in mandolin tuning G-D-A-E or baritone tuning D-G-B-E which Kilin demonstrates at the end of the video. Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more. Aloha!

Dennis Burns || Sleepwalk Lesson

Dennis Burns of Woodsongs music store in Boulder, Colorado presents a video lesson of Sleep Walk by Santo and Johnny for solo Ukulele. This lesson is taught on a GCEA tenor ukulele. You could play the chords with him if you have a capo and place it at the fifth fret. Later loose the capo and you move to C-scale. This lesson has many good tidbits from Dennis that are well worth listening to.
