I've decided that I need to work on being a little more creative in my strumming, so I have been watching a lot of videos. One in particular was a James Hill video. At the beginning he talked about the size of the uke. He suggested that for proper strumming one should play the size ukulele that will fit into the crook of their arm and that the strumming hand then naturally falls into the sweet spot. I had not thought of that, but it makes sense. I know that I do not have much trouble keeping my ukulele in place without a strap while I play and I took note and checked it out. Sure enough, the uke fits right in there and everything falls in the right place. At the cost of riling up the "gotta get yourself a strap crowd," maybe size does matter.
