Hey thanks for the scoop on the uke stores in the TC. Sounds like Groth music is "the place" so far. Maybe one of those other niche places will add some inventory. I was only a block from the Roseville GC when I was up there, so I decided to drop by and see if they had any ukes. They had a Mitchell soprano and concert, a Lanikai CKCGC concert, and a Cordoba tenor. Not much there yet, but they are adding more and more. I think over the years, I've probably spent about $50 at Guitar Center, but I just love going in the "humidity zone" to play some of those expensive Martins, Guilds, Taylors and Gibsons. Not quite as fun as Dave's guitar in La Crosse, but still pretty cool. The Roseville store has a good selection of low end percussion, which I always love to dabble around in also.
