Two things cause me to buy: appearance and quality.
I have a problem buying multiples of things. Ukuleles are a good example. I have to put part of the blame on the ukulele designers and builders. They make such beautiful ukes that I often find I cannot resist buying them. I also have to lay part of the blame at the feet of Barry Maz and Vic Schmeltz. They do very good reviews.
People in our uke group are concerned about sound, but I lean more toward appearance. As far as I'm concerned, every uke I have (all 38) sounds acceptable. I have no duds. I'm attracted toward appearance and quality (reputation). I have sopranino, soprano, concert, and tenor, 4-string and 8-string, cigar box and kit build, banjo uke, and anything slightly unusual-looking. Lately, I'm attracted to slotted headstocks.
So what makes you decide to buy a ukulele?
