We ukeaholics tend to buy and sell as the mood strikes us. Whenever I see a thread about selling off ukes and going the minimalist route it appeals to me.......sorta.
The recent purchase of a Kala super soprano got me thinking. I have gone through all the sizes and determined tenors and baritone is where it is at for me, right now. But tastes change as times rolls on. I sold a Loprinzi super soprano a few years ago that I now wish I still had. A friend sold a fabulous super concert because he thought a tenor was better in reentrant. A few months later he has just purchased another super concert for reentrant playing.
Playing ukulele for a long enough time will have a lot of us coming full circle and rediscovering sounds and songs suited to instruments we once had. Just because I am playing certain genre's now doesn't mean that is all I will play in years to come. Andrew of HMS said something that stuck with me " before you sell an instrument remember why you bought it and the reson you have kept it this long"
So no more selling off instruments just for the sake of decluttering or downsizing. If I want to do that I'll give away some old tee shirts and jeans I don't wear anymore.
