Over time, I have had the opportunity to play and own a variety of Ukes, from sopranos to tenors.
Although many of them have similar shapes, there are those, such as the Flea, Fluke, Boat Paddle, Pear, etc. that require a different way to hold and support
Recently having received a Pear type, I find my fretting hand is touching the strings a bit more, muting them, and my right hand is finding the resting position difficult to find as well as sometimes missing the strings when I pick.
When I switch to the bigger bodies, similar things occur, just in slightly different positions.
Is this just getting used to the instrument or is something more sinister, such as my psyche telling me what it wants to play?
