Years ago my wife wanted me to teach her to play guitar so I bought her a nice 3/4 sized acoustic. She was busy with other things at the time and between that and getting sore fingers from the steel strings, she never did learn to play. She has mentioned it again recently, but we never followed through.
I got my first uke late last week and she really liked it. I asked her if she would like to learn to play and she said she would. That evening I taught her a few chords on mine and she seemed to catch on fairly quickly. She likes the small size of these (mine is a concert size) and the nylon strings. Having just four strings was also easier for her.
This morning I was looking on Amazon at reviews and uke stuff and came across a great deal. A Lanikai LU-21 with a poly foam case for under $39 and with free shipping. I looked at the case separately and it was $31.
So now she will have her own soprano uke to learn with. Mine is a Lanikai LU-21C, which I am very happy with and can't seem to put down for more than a few minutes. It did need a little minor setup work when I got it, which I finally did yesterday. (had trouble putting it down long enough to do it).
So tomorrow we will be a two uke family! Now she can be my uke partner, in addition to being my golf partner.
