I know that certain songs may "sound" better on certain ukes and are even easier to play on one uke than other.
Yet I also find that certain ukes seem "to let me know" what they'd like. For example, I was never a fan of "Kum ba yah" until my Clara inspired me to tap the chords at the bridge, which gave the song an intriguing tribal percussive feel. Just this week, my new Riggio myrtle tenor (a gorgeous ukulele) "wanted" fingerpicked solos from the "lute to uke" book. I think the old wood wanted the old songs.
Has anyone else experienced this? (Please excuse me if I haven't recognized this in a prior thread.)
