OK - so I'm brand new to Uke playing. I've got a brand new, nice tenor, a good attitude, a lot of enthusiasm, and I've been having a stupid amount of fun. My kids (teenagers) have witnessed my goofing around. Now they want to join in. I've let them use mine, of course. (Carefully, very carefully - but that's been fine).
Here's what I'm thinking about: Assuming they are still interested in a few weeks (my standard thing with my kids and a new thing) do I go out and grab them a starter uke OR do I wait a little longer until I've gotten enough under my belt so I can be helpful to them? I'd like to be able to not have them get frustrated.
If I do get them one, should I get them a concert (better for smaller hands)? I think I'm assuming correctly that a tenor and a concert play well together.
Anybody have experience with propagating ukes among your kids when you, yourself, are a novice?
