I recently retired, picked up the ukulele about 5 years ago, have been playing guitar for 50 years or so (can’t exactly remember when I started) - I have a wife and a dog named “Buddy.”
I have several ukuleles in my collection: A Pono Mango Baritone, Collings UT-1 Tenor, Romero Tiny Tenor mahogany, Kiwaya KTS-4 soprano, Koaloha KSM-00 soprano, and a Deering concert banjolele. I hope to sell the Koaloha to fund the purchase of a concert ukulele.
I love to play the old standards on my Tiny Tenor. To relax, I enjoy strumming the Kiwaya. When I don’t want to be bothered I play the banjolele. I’m off and on with the Collings - thought about selling it, but have decided to hold on to it and pass it along to my son when he gets out of college. I seldom pick up the Koaloha. It sounds good and easy to play, but the Kiwaya is too sweet to put down. Since I don’t need two sopranos, would like to move the Koaloha.
I taught instrumental music for 40 years and retired at the end of December 2017. I find the ukulele to be fun, easy to play, uplifting, a smile maker, and sometimes works as an aphrodisiac when the circumstances are right.
