This would seem to be an appropriate place for my question. I've wanted to play ukulele for years, ever since I used to see them in the Sears Christmas Catalog when I was a kid. I'm going to try it now, but before I purchase I want to visit a music store in a larger city to try one out and see how physically difficult it is. I have moderate rheumatoid arthritis, and while there's little loss of mobility, I do have some loss of strength. I fooled aroung a bit with guitar and banjo in my wicked misspent youth and I remember sore finger tips from pressing string against fret. What say ye?
