Firstly: I am sorry. Truly sorry.
I was wrong. And I am willing to admit it. I now understand why many of you have multiple ukes.
I don't have UAS but I have finally realized the need for another uke.
How did this happen you ask?
Background:
I had tried some Worth Brown Low G stings a few months ago but hated what they did to the mango; and never tried another Low G set because I was working on the Alfred The Complete Ukulele Method. (a book series that uses high G)
Last night I put on the D'Addario EJ65TLG Pro-Arté Custom Extruded Nylon Ukulele Strings, Tenor Low-G to get ready to work on the Pekelo book that is coming in the mail that I have purchased from another UU member.
Wow, just wow. I cannot believe what deep, warm tones I am getting from the Low G string set. It sounds so...jeez, I really am at a loss for words.
But I know I don't want to take these strings off the mango for a long time.
The reality:
I still want to work on the Alfred book series and play high G for some songs but I don't want to have to keep switching the G string out.
Solution:
I need another uke.
Now I am on the prowl for another tenor. I don't know which flavor yet and the wife will have to agree; so I might be a month or two away from the actually purchase. (Those of you with wives will understand)
It also helps that the school district I work for is giving all the teachers a nice little raise this year and I was already getting a pay increase because of my new position at the school. So I will have some funds available to play with.
Hooray for raises!.
I just wanted to share this with others as I was so adamant about buying another uke.
I guess the Spanish proverb is true:
'A wise man changes his mind, a fool never will.'
Thanks for reading and I am truly sorry if I offended others with my previous posts about excessive uke purchases.
I can hear the slow, rhythmic chant building in my ears now now:
One of us. One of us. One of us.
Sincerely,
J Johnson
