I went to Sam Ash yesterday to help a friend buy a guitar, and I was BLOWN AWAY by the number of ukuleles they now carry! They must have had like 20 on display.
I bought my first uke from Sam Ash a little less than two years ago, and I only had two Oscar Schmidt ukes to choose from. AND the ukes were displayed for everyone to try in the acoustic room. Now, not even two years later, there are about 20 ukes of all different makes and they are all tucked behind the counter where an employee is at all times.
Seems like America has got a case of UAS.
oh, and to add to this story, shortly after I bought my first uke my mom actually met Mrs. Ash at the hospital where she works and my mom told her i bought a uke. Mrs. Ash said that her husband Mr. Ash has been looking to discontinue ukes, but Mrs. Ash told him not to because she thought they would catch on again soon.
I imagine there are a lot of I-told-you-so's happening in that household.
