Hi folks,
I have been pondering the ukulele for a number of years now, and up until recently I have been able to distract myself with mandolin and guitar. However, last week I was at a guitar workshop and there was a blues ukulele class that I got to listen in on quite a bit. This was the straw that broke the camels back! I just purchased a used but recent Kamaka tenor, and I dont even have it in my hands yet. I had noodled around enough with friends and at stores to know that I was fond on the high G tenor sound, and I knew I wanted a quality instrument from the get go. This particular Kamaka seemed like a good deal so I jumped on it.
Am I going to foil myself trying to throw another completely different instrument into the mix? I have no problems jumping back and forth between mandolin and guitar, but to my uneducated eye/ear the ukulele seems to be a step removed from my other two instruments in terms of tuning. I guess my question is really a rhetorical one, because I think I can no longer deny my desire to play these lovely sounding instruments.
