Most people are thinking about selling their dream ukulele because they have not learned how to play it and see that it is actually their dream ukulele. I would suggest using the blank cheque to set up a serious two or three learning process to help you get the most out of what you already have on board in your brain and body so you realise that the music is in you, its not in the ukulele.
While daydreaming at work today, I found myself wondering if someone gave me a blank check, said that I could write in any amount, but it would have to be used to buy a ukulele, (quite a daydream), what would I want?
While I think my UAS is somewhat under control right now, (ha!), it was a fun little daydream.
I suppose my would-love-to-try-but-can't-afford ukulele would be a Moore Bettah. Since I only play concert size, it's not just price that would keep that from happening. I'd be looking for a unicorn.
What ukulele would you buy with that daydream check in any amount?
Dave...whatever the surgery you are having on your hand I really hope it is successful. 8 months is quite a while but if it is successful it will be worth it. I like the idea of keeping your head in music one way or another as you recuperate. I had a thumb injury a few years back which was very worrying.......I decided to learn to play Lap Steel guitar. It was the best thing I could have done......and is so much fun! Mike.Gonna be a dream stealer in every crowd. Lighten up Bill1 this was meant to be a fun, wimsicle little thread
I will play the game and pick a Moore Bettah because he is not even taking people to go on the waiting list, for the waiting list.
Just so you know Bill1 I am doing something like you suggested this year. My left hand will be operated on at the end of April, I might not be able to play for as long as 8 months. I will taking singing lessons and studying music theory to stay in the game. Will also use the time to learn new finger picking patterns and possibly learn to play slide, my left hand ring finger is the only one not being cut open.

In that daydream, do you happen to meet Chuck in a coffe shop, get to talking, and he says he has the time that week ro make you a custom concert? That, with the blank check, would be a very nice daydream.
The initial prognosis is two months minimum and as long as 8 months depending on rehab.
Time for slide ukulele?Thanks for the encouraging words Mike and thanks to the other well wishers, I really do appreciate it. The initial prognosis is two months minimum and as long as 8 months depending on rehab.
