Ah. I haven't noticed (but that doesn't mean it hasn't happened) that posts have been discredited due to sound clips.
I suppose that's true. Not being someone who records or messes with recordings, it wouldn't really occur to me, other than the fact that a studio recorded clip from someone like TUS is going to only demonstrate/enhance the best qualities (not to mention the top notch playing abilities of the demonstrators), vs a quick and dirty phone recording will hardly do the instrument true justice. I certainly recognize the limitations of a sound clip.
Regarding sound samples, I like them when I'm considering buying a uke. It gives me somewhat of an idea of what the tone of the uke is, and that's all I really want to get out of the sound clip. It's not an end-all be-all of what the uke is capable of. And I'm not looking for anyone to play Bohemian Rhapsody or anything elaborate. I've found almost all soundclips I've been given have done that, and I've gone on to buy the uke.wouldn’t buy an instrument without hearing how it’s sounds.
No one should buy an instrument not knowing how it sounds. That’s the silliest.Regarding sound samples, I like them when I'm considering buying a uke.
