Keep going till you get all 12 harp keys, then you can look for all the alternate tunings!!!!!!!!Yeah...at least UAS is cheaper than GAS. You can get a darned nice uke for the price of a middlin' average guitar. I did know a guy who had PAS (Piano...) - that was expensive and took a lot of space. He had at least one piano stashed at just about every family member's house and then some.
I've got HAS (harp...) - and someday I swear I'm going to learn to play them! At least they don't take up a lot of space...

I own 62 guitars and 15 ukuleles (Note to self - Need more ukes!). Ric
To practice blues harp quietly and get something like 'That Chicago Sound' use a glass or a coffee mug in place of the bullet micHeh, heh, I'm on my way. I've got 'em in G (couple of these), A, Bb, C (two or three), D and F; mostly Lee Oscars but a couple of Marine Bands and a Blackbird. Also got a bullet mic and a fancy case to hold 'em all... and can't play a stinking lick! (Well, not quite true, I can blow a few simple things.) Problem is it's really hard to practice the harp (blues anyway) quietly and my office/music room/man cave is right next to the grandkids bedroom. So, I usually end up picking up a uke 'cause it seems like one or another of the GKs is always either taking a nap or down for the night.
Some day though...

and cup your hands and harp as normal to get the required airtight seal. Its reasonable quiet and
makes a good distorted sound. So its Win Win!!! you get to blow a little harp and the grandkiddies get all the sleep they need.

I can identify with the picture in the original post...I have 14....guitars that is...
I'm glad you are getting a tenor ukulele frets alot, then you will need a baritone as well.

And either a concert or soprano...whichever will round out the set
I wonder how many ukes some of the people here on UU own?
Some are legendary! Maybe they will chime in, but there are several "How many ukes do YOU own?" threads. I just can't get search to cough any up for me however.
