YUM Ukuleles
The ukuleles available here at YUM are soprano ukuleles made by Mahalo Ukuleles, but if you already have an alto, concert or tenor ukulele, you can bring and learn on those, too. Ukuleles are available at many different music stores in the Elm Grove/Brookfield area, as well as ukulele strings, tuners and other accessories. Guitar Center and Cascio Interstate Music are two great places to have your pick of different ukuleles if you are interested in purchasing your own outside of YUM or are looking for an alto, concert or tenor. Tuners are not mandatory, but highly recommended. The "Snark" brand tuners are great, available in 3 models: Guitar, Ukulele and Multi-instrument. All 3 models will work for ukulele. 6 and 8 string ukuleles will be a little more difficult to learn on at YUM, but not impossible, if that is what you have.
