Does it feel awkward or weird to play a thinline ukulele? Would it require much adjusting to how you would play it?
I am an all-concert guy but I do have a concert scale long neck soprano uke. I love it but it does feel kind of weird to play it. My forearm hits the body in a different place and I find that my sleeve and/or wrist area often tend to dampen the strings at the saddle/bridge so I kind of have to bend my wrist a little on my strumming hand to prevent that from happening. I sometimes find myself trying to figure out where to hold it too. (Is more to the right or to the left that's most comfortable?) I was wondering if it was a similar thing with a thinline uke. The body (in my case would be a concert) face would most likely have the same or a very similar profile as my other ukes but the body would certainly be thinner.
