I've been a guitar player for more than 40 years. Recently, my 25-year old daughter declared she wanted a uke. As a law school graduation present, I got her a Mainland concert uke w/ cedar top and rosewood sides and back. Of course, I had to try it out and I couldn't get over how much fun it is. A lot of what I learned about ukes so far I learned from this site. I'm sure there's a uke in my future!
