Good'ay all!
Ex pat Aussie ( from Down Under, Down Under (Tasmania)) currently living in Nha Trang Vietnam here.
In my younger days did a lot of guitar and harmonica playing in bands but that kinda stopped once I had kids and I've had a 23 year hiatus in seriously playing music.
Left all my guitar gear in storage back home because of luggage restrictions and because of lack of use.
Now i've got a bit more time on my hands decided to get back into it and decided to go down the Uke route rather than buy another guitar. One of the reasons is portability as all commuting etc is now done on a scooter rather than a car ( though if you saw the fridges, couches, cupboards etc the locals move on scooters you'd probably just call me a woose).
This is actually my second post here the first in the beginners forum where I got some really useful info from some of the members.
Choices here are a bit limited but ended up with something I was happy with ( looks, sound, intonation up the boards); a Chinese Andrew Concert.
Already thinking of new strings and maybe going to Linear tuning (it's a bit off putting as an ex-guitarist to try and go down but you go up trying to work out a riff
)
Look forward to spending some time here.
Woodshedding has begun!
