Here's a link for the history nerds (like myself!) - UH Manoa has been posting scans of old ukulele ads on Flickr. Pretty cool!
Awesome! If liking this stuff makes you a nerd, I'm signing up for the nerd club!
...plus, as I've learned, you can learn to play one in a day!
Personally, I think anybody paying $19 for a ukulele is crazy. That's outrageously expensive. I bought the $6.95 uke, and if anything, it's better than the $19 ukes. I think the people buying the $19 ukes are collectors who are keeping them in glass cases.
Now you're being divisive. Just who do you think you are with your fancy $6.95 uke? I bought the $1.75 ukulele. I didn't like the gut strings it came with so I replaced them with my shoelaces. I think everyone should have a $1.75 ukulele strung with shoelaces, it's just as good as a $19 uke.
Its surprising that none of these ads mention a brand of any kind. I wonder when brands started to matter.
