A guitar noodler since a teen but in recent years I have become quite smitten with the humble ukulele. I have a because Kala tenor thin body travel uke that play almost everyday either alone or with others through music Facebook and Meetup groups.
Recently I've a desire to bring my ukulele along on some travels and outdoors activities but not really keen on exposing my $350 Kala to the possible rough and tumble. Outdoor Ukulele has come to my rescue! This Bend, Oregon company makes a line of all weather, composite polycarbonate ukes that are very reasonably priced and play surprisingly well. Check them out:

I purchased a beer bottle brown soprano with low G strings and a strap button. The tenor is probably a better fit for my size but I have a tenor uke and the smaller overall size will be better for packing. It only weighs 15 ounces!

I must say that I am truly impressed with the sound and action on this little uke. I restrung it with my favourite Aquila Red strings with low G.
