whats up everyone!
Finally got my first ukulele, and I cant put the thing down. I knew it was going to be addictive but this is ridiculous haha.
Chords are going smooth, just a bit more practice on chord changing, however, im finding strumming the hardest part. I seem to keep hitting the wood with my finger (above or under the strings), but i guess practicing will fix that.
Must admit after 8 years of playing bass, it was a bit of a weird moment when i held the ukulele, so small and the frets are so tiny, haha, but i love it.
I got a Lanikai Lu-21 tenor. First impressions are positive. Not that im a uke expert, but the action seems fine and i have zero buzz. It was delivered with Aquila nylgut strings, which were also a laugh after playing .110 gauge strings for 8 years, but they play nice. Luckily i already have hardened fingers so the strings felt really nice, and fretting is quite easy. Tuned it when i received it yesterday morning, and hasnt needed retuning since.
So anyways, here is a BIG big mahalo to you peeps at Ukulele underground. This is the first ukulele i've ever held in my hands, and the whole process from enjoying its sound up to me spending money and ordering one is THANKS TO YOU GUYS. :worship:
