I am inclined to buy yet another uke (I have several). My guitar guy recommended a 6-string -- not a guilele but a uke with doubles on 1st & 3rd strings. BUT I already own an excellent 8-string -- it's my main go-to compadre.
Ergo, I am wondering why I should get a 6-stringer. I almost always buy from Mim, via Ebay, so I can't do a comparison on my own. Thus I would greatly appreciate any comments as to why it would or wouldn't make sense to own both a 6-stringer AND an 8-stringer. I mean --wouldn't a 6-stringer just sound like a gelded 8-stringer?
I don't want to offend my guitar guy by not taking his advice, unless I can get some good reasons.
Any comments would be a blessing.
