There are threads on here that sometimes go......." what's the use of owning so many ukes, you can only play one at a time".
I get that and I also firmly believe to become a virtuoso sticking to one instrument is beneficial. It becomes a part of you, like Jake with his Kamaka tenor. I will never reach that level, although I work on improving, who doesn't want their playing to sound better. But for me it is the pure enjoyment I get from the different sounds produced by different ukuleles
Having more ukes than you can play seems silly until you rediscover one. I keep about 6 ukes in the dining room stood up along a wall in their cases. The others are in their cases in my finished basement. Having recently taken up guitar many ukes have been sitting idle. I pulled my Kamaka 100th anniversary baritone from the basement last night and have been playing it for hours since then. It is like getting a brand new ukulele. I remember why I said I will never sell this, it just sounds so good. The reason to have many ukes is to experience and rediscover the wonderful sounds and appreciate them for decades to come. They don't have to be played everyday to be worthwhile, they just have to make you smile to qualify.
Who's got some hidden gems that need to be pulled out and played. Why do YOU keep them???
