I own 3:
Stagg soprano US10
Greg Bennett concert uk pkn 70
Kala lacewood tenor KA-ASLAT
 
Just the two in my sig.













(At the moment...)
 
I have seven, eight if you include my Goddaughter's. I also have picked out #8 & #9 and will have both hopefully before the end of this year, I've been playing a year August 31st. I plan to have 10 because it's a round number, my plan WAS eight but then I saw another one I wanted so I'm keeping the space open for one more in my life...

I figure it makes me happy, I play them all, they all sound different, so why shouldn't I enjoy them?
 
Only one at the moment - an Ohana SK10S.

However, this state of affairs could change tomorrow.... :)
 
13 ukes, 11 guitars, 1 bass.

I'm feeling sick now....
 
I have 6 ukes and 1 on order, 5 acoustic guitars, 6 electric guitars, 2 basses, a banjo, mandolin, dulcimer, and a lap steel and I can't really play any of them, I guess I have issues.

Hmmmmm, wonder where you get that???????? :rolleyes:
 
Five: two soprano's; one pineapple; two concerts (see signature) and I am itching for a Mainland Red Cedar, maybe a pineapple so that I have two of each

There's a few guitars in the house that I don't play (my father's), and an assortment of other small instruments like harmonicas, tin whistles...a Samick piano... egg shakers, recorders... etc

Hmm.. do I have a problem?

Hard to say for me, since I probably rightfully own 11 or so ukes after purchasing 9 via CraigsList ad (some being repaired, a couple already given away), and purchased a couple of baritones via Musician's Friend stupid deal of the day. I guess as far as the one I am going to personally keep, you can say I have 2 1/2 ukes. One Oscar Schmidt OU-2 concert, a new to me Lanikai S-T tenor, and my 1/2 uke is the one in my avitar, which is a 1930/1940's Harmony solid birch soprano uke that I am repairing.

If you know how many ukulele's you have, you don't have enough.

Pono baritone ebony/spruce
Kala baritone rosewood/cedar
MP baritone pineapple redwood top
MP baritone rosewood/cedar
Koaloha tenor Sceptre
Pono tenor mahogany
Ovation tenor

My other instruments are lap steels, weissenborns, and dobro's
 
5 ukes - listed in the order I obtained them:

1) Lanikai LU-21T: Signed by Jake Shimabukuro....so it is a wallhanger.
2) Mainland Mahogany Gloss Tenor with MOP Tuners
3) Kamaka HF-3: Main player and travel uke.
4) Emil Bader Custom Mango Tenor
5) A Gifted No-Name Uke: Needs a lot of work to be playable.
 
I own the ones in my sig,but I have built a reso and
two biscuit tin (cookie tin) ones which have been
given to friends.And I am now considering another
one but have to decide.......
 
I "own" two, but really only ever play the tenor.
 
What's the epiphone les paul uke like? I was going to get a masterbilt epiphone uke that had been reduced down to £100 to get rid of stock just over a year ago and didn't and I'm still kicking myself...!

Pros and cons. There is a good long thread on it awhile back. Do a search of "Epiphone Les Paul Uke" and you should find it. Lots of good info on it..
