Workshop Details

📅 Date: Wednesday, April 8th
⏰ Time: 6:30 PM – 8:00 PM

During the workshop, we’ll cover:

When it’s time to change your ukulele strings
String options and how to choose the right set for your instrument
Different restringing methods based on bridge style

(Please note: strings will not be changed on your ukulele during the workshop; however, Carla will demonstrate restringing techniques using two strings on a ukulele.)

The makers of Kala Brand ukuleles have recently fallen victim to fraudulent websites impersonating Kala.

Here are some important tips they shared to help us identify and avoid fraudulent websites

Always check the website address: Before you click on any links or enter information, look closely at the web address. Scammers often use addresses that are slightly different (e.g., kalabrand-shop.com or kalabrandmusic.net). Kala’s official site is simply www.kalabrand.com.
Look for the padlock icon: A secure website will have a padlock icon in the browser’s address bar, indicating an HTTPS connection. While this doesn’t guarantee legitimacy, its absence is a red flag.
Check for suspicious discounts: We love offering special deals, but if a price seems too good to be true—like an extremely deep discount on a new, popular item—it could be a red flag. Always verify the site to be sure you’re on our official page.
Check for poor grammar or spelling: Scam sites often contain numerous typos or grammatical errors.
Verify contact information: Legitimate businesses will have clear contact information. If you can’t find a phone number, email, or physical address, be cautious.
