I got started playing uke around 2003-04.
I remember going on ebay and getting 500-600 hits on "ukulele". I just went out there and got 21,000 hits.
I remember when the vast majority of ukes for sale online were Oscar Schmidt and Lanikai. No ukes could be had locally.
I remember when the only person who I'd seen or play the uke in the last 40 years was Tiny Tim.
I remember buying solid mahogany vintage Harmony ukes for $50-85, looks like $150-250 is the going price now.
I think the growth and popularity has been phenomenal.
What do some of you long time players remember?
