The expectation is 0. The likely reality is 1, maybe 2 (with 1 or 2 others being sold)

I put 1 but depending on how you look at it, the answer may be 0. In reality, I'm on a build list and planning to defer the build to December of 2021 and will take delivery either late that month or in January 2022. I think it counts against 2021 UAS, even if I don't probably won't have it in hand until 2022. I have 2 good ukes now, one tuned linear and the other reentrant. Given that I just play for myself, 3 will probably be enough for me.
I haven't bought a uke for three years and don't expect to in 2021. That is, unless my good one gets broken.
I don't want to live in a world that is linear.
I just want everyone to understand that I am not a ukulele expert, even though it may look at times like I'm pretending to be.

There is just one I want to part trade one of my existing ukes for. I would expect that to happen in the next 12 months. That's it though I think.

My current stable is pretty good. All the instruments are better than me as a player and I have most of the options covered. I don't care for sopranos, so I don't need one, I've got both High and Low G tunings on my Tenors, a decent Baritone, and my Concerts are great-sounding ukes. I satisfied one of my big goals this year with the commissioning and purchase of a custom instrument (Jupiter Tenor) so that's covered. We'll see if that keeps me satisfied for the next 12 months. It would probably take something super-special for me to crack open my wallet. One thing I might do is have pickups installed in a couple of the instruments. I have a Misi in my Jupiter Tenor and I'm really enjoying fooling around with it.

I just bought a piano and a guitar. If I bring another uke in the house Im gonna be having some problems![]()
Unless I play much better, probably none, though I'm allowing for one. If I'm better, I'll think about it. I may build a couple of cookie tin or cigar box ukes for fun though. I just like building them. Oh, I might bling out a cheapie with Rhinestones just to look like a tiny Dolly Parton instrument lol. Again, just a fun thing, I wouldn't expect great playability.
I really like my Kala cedar and my Mainland mahogany. They feel good in my hands.
I expect to order one custom uke this coming year. And that’s all. However, if something interesting comes up in the Marketplace . . . . .

I voted none for this year because I am completely satisfied with my two ukuleles (one in low G, one in high G). Obviously I am a player and not a collector. And I'm very monogamous; I don't play to play around. I play my particular ukes because I have a connection with them. I know their frets and I like that familiarity. I am, however, saving up for a $4000 baritone to complete my collection. I haven't bespoken it yet, but I know what I want will cost about that much.
None for me. I am happy with the blessings I have. Focused this year on playing. The only thing that might tempt me is a vintage baritone. But I’m not looking. Now strings are another matter.
