So against my better judgment, I have acquired a good number of ukes. Specifically:
Godin for playing out with others, tuned low g
Good time banjolele for clawhammer high g
Kiwaya laminate high g for classical
Flea concert in d6 for when I want that tuning
Hadean bass uke for backing up others
Ozark 8 steel string (a prototype, essentially a mandolin with a wider fretboard and tuned gcea)
Seems like too many, and frankly while I love the sound of the ozark I feel a bit lost playing it.
But I have saved up enough to possibly pick up an emerald harp uke. I have wanted one for some time but now I am reluctant to pull the trigger. I like the ringing sound of the uke and would like a little tonal expansion, plus it's a goofy instrument as am I, but I think in order to justify it it would need to become my main uke... (currently the godin and kiwaya).
Okay UU, talk me into or out of it!
Thanks!
Ben
