for being such a small and portable instrument, I almost always see ukulele players with a lot of stuff with them.
At STRUM (Seattle's Totally-Relaxed Ukulele Musicians), we have more and more members bringing 'Costco'-type,
collapsable 4-wheel carts to carry their chairs (for outside gigs and events), music stands, songbooks, ukes
(some bring more than one, like a banjo uke ), food, drinks, etc.
So, with the discussions re: hard and soft cases and single or douple-straps on bags,
I thought we might delve into the world of "How do we carry around all of our Uke stuff?"
When I travel to HNL, for instance, I try to travel light with just a backpack or backpack and an overhead bag
(that's because I stay with family and already have some clothes and ukes there )
anyway, when I'm there, I try to carry everything in my backpack including a tabletop music stand
that doubles as my tablet stand as I generally carry both a hard copy music book and my travel tablet.
then there's a water bottle, fan (it is Hawaii after all), and assorted cables and things.
Soooo, what about you? How do you carry around your ukulele stuff for casual use and gigging?
Inquiring minds might want to know
