To those who own glossy Ukes. I've heard that they're slippery, hard to hold, and smudge easily, but I like the looks of a high or medium gloss Uke. Do you have trouble holding yours? Does it smudge? :anyone:
No and no not much. I do use a strap on my tenors. I prefer the gloss.
Wow, not one person who doesn't care for glossy Ukes. I wish I could remember where I read or heard that. It sure doesn't hold up here. Thanks every one. ld:
I never understand the vehemence some people have against choices that are not their own, i.e., gloss vs satin, low g vs high g, expensive ukes vs. lower priced ukes. It is none of my business what other folks prefer, and if it makes you happy, it is the right choice.
Right on, WW, I couldn't agree more, however, I wanted to know if it would slide all over while was playing. I have enough trouble as it is. I really do like the glossy look--rich. ld:
Ha, they just have not chimed in. I am a fan of glossy ukes, I prefer them for protective purposes and aesthetic as well. But the last time this topic was discussed TONS of people said they hated them and only liked satin/matte. I say to each their own, whatever floats your boat is fine by me.
