Congrats on your two new ukes.... How about this, go into a music store and forget your wallet...ha ha then the sales person says you can take the ukulele
home and call me with your credit card number....LOL yes this really happened
Because it is you Stan...for the rest of us Joe Schmoes, they would call the cops!
You all scare me!
You know, when I decided to learn the ukulele, one of the reasons was that I thought it would be an inexpensive hobby. Now, a month later, I have three and a half ukes, and I drool every time I look at the Marketplace! Awesome community though, which makes it all worth it anyway!
I don't think I even want to ask about that "and a half" uke...
Oh, that! Well, that was ... well, I had looked for a portable instrument, read about ukuleles, and spontaneously bought a "set" for thirty euros (forty dollars or so) which came with a book, a CD, a bag, and a plywood soprano. Considering the book with the CD alone retails at half of the total price and the padded bag by itself is also in the ten euros range, you get an idea what the uke was like! It just doesn't count as a full instrument. (I will use it to learn how to change strings.)
Yeah, that half a uke caught my eye too.
FYI - I'm in negotiations for flipping one of the two ukes for a third uke...
30 years ago, an impoverished teacher came into the shop I worked in (Carlsboro Sound Centre in Sheffield) for a set of strings. 2 hours later he left with the Les Paul 55 Reissue I'd decided he was going to buy when he walked in. If I worked at HMS, there'd be a lot of people on Oahu waking up in the morning thinking "hang on, why is my house full of Ukes, why have all my credit cards melted and where is my wife going with those suitcases ?"
