Gretsch Roots Collection Soprano and Concert Ukuleles

Gretsch Roots Collection Soprano and Concert Ukuleles

The Ukulele has been making a strong comeback in popularity. Their portability, musical versatility and relatively low cost are big factors in this.

We carry a wide range of brands and models of Ukuleles, from inexpensive wooden soprano ukes to expensive metal-body resonator concert models.

Gretsch has released as part of their ‘Roots Collection’ a number of ukuleles, and here are two of them – the G9100 soprano and the G9110 Concert.

These are built of solid mahogany for the body, with mahogany necks and rosewood fingerboard and bridge.

The one shortcoming with these instruments is the stock friction tuners, so we’ve upgraded the tuners on these instruments to Grover Sta-Tites.

Ed Henderson Concert and CD Release at Heliconian Hall!

Ed Henderson is one of my first customers going back to the early days of The Twelfth Fret. In those days he was busy playing the various “pit gigs” he had at Theatres around Toronto.

The guitarists who land these incredible theatre gigs are always the cream of the crop players — but I had no idea that he was such a fabulous solo steel string acoustic and nylon string player.

Ed moved out west several years ago but we do stay in touch. Recently when he passed through town and visited the store I got to hear him check out guitars in our classical room and was floored to hear what he was doing.

Ed’s CD knocked my socks off and his new CD release is just as enchanting.
