Hello . . . I'm new to both the ukulele and this Forum, but happy to have found this site.
Many years ago I played guitar, but in 1989 I had an operation on the little finger of my left hand that resulted in the fusion of the finger's middle joint. The operation was successful in correcting an old football injury and making the finger look human again (it had stuck out sideways at that middle joint for years).
But it ended my guitar playing.
I recently learned about the baritone ukulele, and wondered if it might not give me the best chance to play music again. The more I considered it, the more I wanted to give it a try. I ordered a Kala KA-B that should be here soon and I'm looking forward to giving this an earnest shot.
If anyone has any good advice to give me, please do so. And I have a pretty thick skin, so I can take your well-intentioned criticism if you truly think I'm kidding myself. I'm hopeful of a good result, of course, but don't yet know what I don't know.
TIA for any words of wisdom you care to provide.
