Kind of losing my UAS

NatalieS · Mar 22, 2009

A few months ago I was always dreaming about what uke I could bring home next. But I've recently come to realize that my Lanikai LK-1s is all I've ever wanted in a uke, and probably all I'll ever need. I'm still working on getting a custom-painted Fluke (I can't WAIT to share it with you guys!) but that will be as much wall art as it will be a player uke. I like my Kiwaya but don't really play it because I'm always preferring that sweet tone that the Lanikai produces.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH ME???

Haha

Its always calm before the storm...

It's just a phase you're going thru, don't worry when you come to your senses you'll be buying ukes 6 a year minimum.

NatalieS · Mar 22, 2009

LOL! Well I think part of it may be the economy, and the fact that I'm now working 60+ hours a week so I have less time for the uke. I'm sure it probably is a phase, and that worries me a bit.

My mom's getting herself a Kanile'a on her trip to Oahu in two months. She knows much less about the uke than I do, so I am having fun passing on some uke knowledge to her and educating her on what to look for. She loves my LK-1s and her name starts with a "K" so I'm sure she'll go for a Kanile'a concert soundmonster (with the lovely K logo on the headstock). See-- I'm living vicariously through her with her new uke!

I am typically content with ukuleles and guitars when I record them and I like what I hear. In fact, I recorded a tune today called "Wantin' Some Sunshine" (it was on an album I did in 1992 and on a ukulele album I did in December 2007, but this version is ukulele and guitar.

What I'd like to do is fine a good pickup for the sound-hole on a baritone ukulele. Now, that would be really great to have.

Haha, you should be glad. I'm still losing the UAS battle despite having several ukes that I would say qualify as "all I've ever wanted in a uke". I mean, I find myself actually wanting a few import ukes despite having a few custom built ukes in my possession. It makes no sense right?

It makes PERFECT sense.

Yeah, right! "I can stop buying ukes any time I choose." We've all said that.

See you at the meetings.

There is no cure.

You're just in remission. Enjoy it while it lasts.

Consider yourself blessed!

More power to ya...! I feel I may have put UAS behind me too. I just keep playing them and the more their played, the more I start to really value the ukes I already have.

carpekd · Mar 23, 2009

if you want to regain your UAS, go to a ukulele festival where vendors are set up and you can try hundreds of ukes....

it'll come back
