I'm curious about stories of "the one that got away": Ukes or other instruments that you sold, lost or had stolen that you would love like anything to have back.
I had a baritone uke once, a vintage Harmony, that I fantasize about getting back someday. I spotted it in a violin store, in a woman's house. It was scarred and charred, burn marks and discolored finish. The woman said she found it in a sale; it had been through a fire. But it was solid, intact, and sounded great when I tuned and played it. I bought it for, I think $15. For some reason, I let go of it when I went through a divorce. Sold it for maybe $20-$25. I'm kicking myself for letting it go. A uke like that has mojo!
Your stories?
