Ukulele is a GREAT starting point for stringed adventure.
Someday, just rent a violin for a month. A decent student version from a reputable music store in your area. It will take a teacher to get you going because there are proper bow holds to master, hand placements and the ever popular intonations. Thats where to put your fingers on a fretless fingerboard.
Once you get the hang of it, a whole world opens up.

Ah yes my daughter took violin lessons for a bit when she was young and I tried it a few times. It was tricky to get a clear sound with the middle strings! I'm also interested in slack key .. haha too many interests 😅 But I'm finding the uke is extremely user friendly and helping me understand the basics of music theory when I was always intimated in exploring that before. So much fun 🎶

LOL!!!!
Welcome to my life!!!
I'm guilty of having too many interests as well. Flying, oil painting, music, wood working, etc.
I think you're on the right track with ukulele. Wish I had known about them when I was growing up and
trying my best to sound like Grand Funk railroad on my Sears guitar.

Oh wow, flying is on my bucket list! I want to get my private pilot lisence some day. What do you fly? Also paragliding is on the list. And I love painting 🎨
I wish I had learned this earlier, too. I tried learning guitar a few times but life was too busy, the uke would have been a better option then. Better late than never 😊

Been flying single engine airplanes pretty much since I was 17.
Piper Cubs are my favs along with Stearmans.
I love taking friends in C172's though. Its a great ride.

LOVE my gliders as well.
Actually, gliding was my first license back in the day.

I have a smidgeon of time in seaplanes and a small bit of time in helicopters but I keep returning to 65 Hp cubs!!!
I'll post a pick or two.

That's so young to start 😊do you ever do aerobatics? I've only been in small planes a couple times in my life, but that was enough to spark a love of it. I'm not interested in helicopters, idk why, but seaplanes would open up a whole other world to explore.
Did you hear about the guy that flew a Cessna from California to Hawaii?
Would love to see some pics of your planes 😊🌸
