My first ukulele was a purple Mahalo. It had good strings on it, sounded great for an inexpensive uke and was a pleasure to play despite a couple of fret buzzes. I had many hours of fun playing it.
It found a new home yesterday after I decided that maybe I didn't need 5 ukuleles around and that it would make a friend of mine very happy to have it (she had borrowed it a couple of times before because she wants to learn and she also fell in love with it). She was indeed very happy, and I was happy for her.
But as I was about to reach out and grab it a couple of minutes ago as I often do when sitting in the sofa, it finally sunk in that it was gone. Gone! My dear beater uke! What did I do???!!! What should I do? Would it be rude to ask her to give it back? Should I get her/myself another Mahalo (or a Dolphin) to replace it? Should I just try to get over it and forget it ever existed? Should I try to see this as an opportunity to force myself not to play on a beater too much and instead spend more quality time with my other beautiful more deserving ukes?
HELP!
