Hey everyone, I'm new to playing uke, mainly been reading threads but now I've got a question. Does using moisturiser effect how quickly callouses form? I work in a job where I have to wash my hands several times an hour and that dries out my hands. I've just been worrying that using it will soften my fingertips so I've avoided getting it on there just incase.
Only been playing for about a week and already I'm starting to feel like the fingertips on my left hand feel different. They permenantly feel bruised now when I press on them but I'm still playing several times a day for short periods, normally after about 30mins it gets too painful to play anyway. Which is annoying because I want to carry on!
Just as an aside question, I've got a vintage (the brand) soprano uke. Cheap one I know, but I'm thinking of getting some Aquila strings after Christmas (or for Christmas) Is it worth it or should I just buy a new uke instead in a few months?
