I guess I should consider myself lucky in many respects, as I've been playing the ukulele for more than 1.5 years, and only yesterday did a ukulele accident finally happen to me.
I was hanging out with my nephew, and everything was dandy, right up until he accidentally stepped on my backpacker (which I do admit, was partially my fault since I had it on a chair inside only a cloth bag) and broke it. I think right now I'm still kind of in denial that it happened at all , though the disconnected neck and a 1.5 inches break/crack on the soundboard says otherwise. *heartbreak - especially since this is a pretty new ukulele, and I've barely just broken it in to exactly how I like it*
It's my first pretty ghastly self-inflicted (or in this case, family-inflicted) damage (and not say, a vintage one that's already damaged when I bought it) for any of my ukuleles (and hopefully my last), and I've just contacted the luthier who made it to ask if I can pay him to repair it, so hopefully my poor ukulele will soon be fixed, but it got me curious (or at least, it'll be a distraction from staring at the ukulele and wishing I could turn back time) -
When and what was your first major ukulele accident, and how did you take it?
