i've never had a new car. so if i get a ding on the fender or accidentally hit a tree when i open the door, i don't like it, but it's not that big a deal in the long run. i imagine that if i were to have a new suv or bmw or other letters, that i'd be much more careful with it.
those of you who have high end ukuleles, how careful are you with it? do you use it for home only or is it your everyday uke?
my first uke was prob more expensive than i wanted it to be (who hasn't experienced that, huh? budget, schmudget!), but case and all was under $200. and i keep it always on a hanger or in its case when not in use or i'm taking it on the road. but if i accidentally hit it on the edge of my office desk, i don't freak out excessively.
in my mind, if instead i hit the edge of a sceptre, kamaka or some other $1k+ or $2k+, etc. on the edge of the desk, i just might lose it as i buff the ever living mess out of the wood until the whole thing is devoid of fingerprints. and forget about taking it to play at chick-fil-a as my two kids frolic to the lyrics of chris tomlin or the laurie berkner band. actually, forget about maybe taking such a uke any where other than its tweed hard case with requisite humidifier.
so is this really how it is for high end uke owners, or does such kid-glove treatment wear off with familiarity. or is $2500 so relative that it's like my $200 uke so for some ppl so it's no big deal?
feedback? anyone? thanks!
