Hi,
I would like to know, generally, how commonly the uke is played without right hand nails. Are uke players as firm on nails as classical guitarists? More importantly, is there a technique (or strings) that will benefit those who must keep their nails short?
I have a new tenor ukulele (Kala Solid Mahogany Lite) to cut my teeth on and figured the larger size will allow for me to strum and pick - without nails. My fingers are slim, not sausages, and hope this may make a difference.
Thanks for any advice,
Gene
