I'm interested in knowing from people- what was your first ukulele, and why did you pick it up as an instrument in the first place?
Me- a cheap "Classic Low-A" (thought not strung as such), and a copy of Roy Smeck's "Ukulele Method" from the local music store. The year was 1994... I wanted to learn an instrument that was portable, affordable, open to anyone, and the ukulele looked like it would be fun. Also, and probably most importantly, I wanted something none of my friends had. And bagpipes weren't really working out for me that well (I could never get the hang of marching and playing at the same time. Maybe I should give them a second chance...).
I'm glad I switched. People always smile when you whip out the ukulele; bagpipes are not as universally loved.
