The very first uke I bought was an all mahogany laminate Gretsch G9120 tenor. The ensuing years saw me buy other ukuleles and this eventually didnt get played much. About three years ago I loaned this to someone who wanted to learn how to play ukulele.
I never really heard much from him after a few get togethers and eventually figured I would never see the uke again. I was a bit sad because it was my first ukulele but figured if it helped someone else find joy from the ukulele it was worth it. Well I got a call from his soon to be ex asking if I ever got my uke back, she is a friend of my wife. Well she returned the uke back to me about a week ago. I was thrilled to see it was in the same shape it left my home. I gave the exterior an oil treatment and changed out the three year old strings. Glad to have my old friend back in the fold. I won't be loaning that one out again
