There is certainly nothing wrong with tenor, and I admire those who play it well, but i just don't enjoy playing tenor very much.
The size feels so big. The string tension is uncomfortable. The sound is less delicate. It's an emotional thing - I just don't bond with my tenors. Sopranos are too small to feel completely comfortable but I don't care. I love to play them. Concerts feel like the right size for my hand.
But tenor, it seems to be the instrument of choice for "serious" ukulele players and I just can't get into it. Sometimes it makes me feel somehow inadequate that I just don't want to play tenor. Does anyone else feel like tenor just isn't for them?
