The woman who asked me to help her pick out a ukulele still hasn't decided. I thought she had settled on a Pono from HMS, but no.
She asked her landlord, a percussionist, to listen to a Pono, Bonanza, and Martin online. He made the situation worse. He said the most important thing is how it feels in her hand. Really?! I don't give a second thought to the neck. I just pick it up and play it.
Back in the early 20th century, when ukes were most popular, no one cared about the shape of the neck. They were all sopranos, and they all had the same neck. I have a Martin and a Bonanza, but there's no way I want her coming here and trying my ukes. She called a music store and left a message asking if they had those three ukes.
Unbelievable!
