In this issue, we feature an exclusive interview with Hawaiian ukulele master Benny Chong, who has taken jazz playing to a whole new level, both through his challenging repertoire and the complexity of his techniques. Benny also shares some pointers in our new 'Pro Tip' section.

Elsewhere, we take a look at an extremely rare and beautiful Martin 5K from 1930; talk to popular performers Victoria Vox and Ralph Shaw; get the lowdown on ukes from Pepe Romero; and induct American TV legend Arthur Godfrey into the Hall of Fame.
