For the first time after 2 years of being diagnosed with UAS I felt slightly depressed grabbing my tenor uke to play. Like 3 months ago I came across kind of cheap but nice recording king OOO body guitar (RO-06) - since then when I grab an ukulele it just does not feel right. I still love ukes and I think it's the most beautiful instrument but I am somehow keen on the lower registers that guitar provides. I have spent quite a lot money (or at least to my current financial situation) on Pono MTDX which is great. But it was three time more expensive than the guitar that I just can't stop playing (if I can call it so). In two years I've put money into 6 ukes. I sold some and build one, so I am now with 3 solid wood ukes of each size. When I play with my gf I usually grab soprano cuz it's so small, handy and fun but I tend to play guitar with her concert uke now and I feel like it will be my main instrument to the future of my playing.
I'd love to get new git but UAS cost me so much that I have to wait a few months before I can afford something nicer. Ukulele as my first string instrument gave me basic skill foundations and now I feel it's even easier for me as a almost beginner to play guitar than to play ukuleles (or at least in terms of blues music that I am keen on). Feels more free and the lower notes just fit my ears. Most of music I listen to is played on guitars, that might be the other factor of my depression.
The problem is I just feel so anxious when I see my lovely Pono MTDX (which is not an easy purchase where I live) being locked in it's Ko'olau case. I will probably put it on marketplace for sale in EU countries. Messege me if interested.
I somehow seem to be cured from extreme UAS symptoms by a guitar. Did anyone experience something similar?
