Following up on the post I made about having uke acquisition syndrome for a Kala Pacific walnut uke, and ultimately not fulfilling it, I ended up making another purchase instead. UAAS, uke accessory acquisition syndrome.
It came about after I attended the CC Strummers group in Culver City California on Monday, and Tuesday attended my first WLA Ukulele Ensemble meeting.
I carry my tenor uke in a gig bag backpack style, and also a collapsible music stand in a small tripod bag slug over one shoulder, and a heavy 3 ring binder/carry bag with a pouch for my iPad & foot pedal, slug over the other shoulder. In other words, it's a bunch to lug, especially since I had my right hip replaced 5 weeks ago.
I decided I will simplify my load by moving all my sheet music to the iPad, which will eliminate the binder carry bag, use the iPad on a table, which will eliminate the music stand, then buy a hard shell case that has enough storage for the iPad & foot pedal.
I found the Kala Tenor Ukulele Hard Foam Case UC-T online for $39.99, free shipping, no tax (all my ukes are tenors). It has a large pouch outside for the iPad, additional storage inside, and backpack straps. This will bring it down to one item to carry that will also protect my ukes much better. Should be here next week. I have to say, my thirst was quenched.
