Starting Over Again........

Opa John said:

Just wanted to introduce myself. I've just recently gotten back into ukulele playing after not even having one to play for about 30 years. I bought a very economical (read "cheap") Makala baritone a few months ago at Sam Ash Music in a moment of weakness. I've been having a ball with it. (See avatar)

I'm a long time guitar, fiddle and mandolin player and I've discovered that I can do a lot of finger style playing on the uke that I could never do before. Never even tried it, actually. The baritone voicing also seems to fit my voice better than any of the other sizes of ukes would. Of course, I also picked up a decent banjo capo to snap on it at various locations on the fret board when the mood strikes me.

I'm really enjoying the uke a lot more than I thought I would. Hope I continue to enjoy it and hope to spend some time on this forum with you people too. Cheers....Opa John.....

Thanks for the "welcome", Mickey. You mentioned this forum over at HC so I figured I'd better come over and check it out. It's been kinda dead at HC lately.

I'm getting the feeling that baritone ukes aren't too popular here. Or, anywhere else for that matter. I'm still lovin' mine, but also still looking for a nice tenor. Actually, I had one ordered back in November from MF, but it was on back order and they couldn't get it to me before sometime in January, so I cancelled the order. Might start looking for another one real soon.
