I wonder why ukists store boxes at all. It’s like we’re never really satisfied with our purchases and ready to shuck ‘em off at any time....

I do have a big garage. That was the number one consideration when I bought my house. I was a part time mechanic though. Mechanics need big garages.I put away all the boxes from my modest collection of various instruments in the attic, in case any should ever need re-homing. But were I to store even that small amount in the garage, we would have no room to park our vehicles or do the laundry! Some of you must have huge garages, or else be forced to park in the driveway or street!

Do we save the boxes when we buy pots and pans or a new lamp or a nice coat or a great hat etc etc etc. I have many other instruments, and they are all box less.

I don't know about ukuleles being different. My friend took up the guitar when he retired, and I swear he has a new one to tell me about every time I see him. And guitars are a lot more expensive than ukuleles. But I agree with you about band instruments. Several people in our church still play their band instruments from highschool at services.I am probably gonna step on some ukist’s toes, but there’s just somethin’ different about ukuleles.

Of course, I don’t know for sure, but most musicians, who play trumpets or saxophones or violins or drumsets, don’t turn around every month or two and trade them off for a new one. I think most of these musicians buy an instrument, learn to play it or to remember how and have a good time playing it. My Dentist has instruments that he played in high school. He hangs them on the wall. I have instruments that are at least ten years old, however, I do trade mine in, when I get tired of them, for a totally DIFFERENT kind of instrument. I enjoy the studying and learning more than the playing sometimes. My neighbor across the driveway collects (and keeps) different kinds of guitars
I’m not saying that ukes are no good. I’m just saying that they, and their uses are different.
I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say: The holidays are better with a ukulele!
How about a Reboxing video, when you dislike the uke, and pack it to send back? I looked, but couldn't find any!

For me, watching an unboxing video is like watching someone else eat. I just don't feel fulfilled. Fortunately, I keep UPS and FedEx busy enough so that I don't feel left out. Gotta keep those trucks rollin' !
To me, true unboxings (unpacking from the box and removing the wrapping etc, not the openers first impressions) are right up there with sound samples/demos where the player sings over the instrument.
