I see that not all ukes have bindings on the body/fretboard, but when they do, they're sure to tout them, i.e., flamed maple bindings, or ebony binding, or whatever. "Binding" sure sounds like it's important, but as many ukes don't seem to have any, are they really necessary, or do they extend the life of the instrument, or are they just "bling"?
