The Ukulele Occasional is a magazine dedicated to all aspects of ukulele culture. Our goal is to entertain uke enthusiasts with articles, rare photos, reviews and instruction centered around everyone's favorite instrument.
February 27, 2006 update: The UO staff is busier than ever, working full-time on the Fretboard Journal. The FJ is a quarterly, full-color magazine that covers the entire spectrum of fretted instruments, from ukuleles (of course!) to banjos, guitars and mandolins. The debut issue came out in November and boasts many of the UO's best writers; and a new issue will arrive every three months. We're very proud of it. With any luck, it'll allow us to keep creating UOs someday, albeit with better distribution, better print quality and higher design standards. We hope you'll check it out.
As for the UO, we no longer have copies of either issue in-stock,
but many of our dealers
should still carry issue two (try Elderly, Gryphon, and Flea Market Music
first). Issue two includes interviews with Herb Ohta, Duane Heilman, Azo
Bell, King Kukulele and William H. Macy. The now ultra-rare first
issue continues to be out-of-print, though we are exploring doing
a reprint (in an expanded edition) or offering PDFs of some of the more
popular stories. We'll of course keep you posted.
Be sure to check out our page devoted to Frequently Asked Questions concerning the magazine. Or, just send us an email at info@ukemag.com.
