Can you tell us the number of ukes in the room or is that classified?

There are 96 Ukes in the room right now. I have 8 down in the garage packaged up waiting to go for donation at The Ladies of Charity, Hill Country Thrift Shop in Lakeway. Incidentally, I have other musical instruments in the room, including a Lyre, Kalimba, Concertina, Bowed Psaltry, (3) Native American Indian Flutes, (5) Recorders, Violin-Uke, Didgeridoo, (3) Harmonicas, Piano, Bagpipe, Indian Drum, Bongolele, Shakerlele, (2) Tambourines, German Alto Horn, American Alto Horn, and a British Tenor Horn.
And, to answer Jan D's question, sitting "quietly" in the room is hardly an option!

Wow, so the fact that I counted 96 in the room and posted earlier to that fact, was spot on. Your pictures were good, in that I could see all the ukes, even on the shelves, floor, and on misc stands and hooks. An impressive collection for sure. I noticed the NAF's too, as I play and have 5 myself. Don't forget your Blue Lion mountain dulcimer! I love playing my mountain dulcimers....I have 6, all customs.There are 96 Ukes in the room right now.

Really nice. I noticed your uke collection, My two local music stores don't have that many, combined. Do you play the uke/harp? I also notice how you created an audiance, I may have to do the same. Maybe even record some applause tracks. Congrats, it is wonderful.
That room is amazing! Congratulations on a job well-done! Nice collection of instruments and books!

Amazing! I did forget to mention my Blue Lion Mountain Dulcimer. You, Sir, know your Dulcimers, picking out the maker and all. Please pardon my ignorance here, but what is a "NAF?"
I just went back and counted again. This time I came up with 101 Ukes in the room. I'm telling you, they're like rabbits!

I'm a ma'am
(no problem). You are right, I know my dulcimers (like you know ukes).NAF = Native American Flute, in the flute community (sorry about that)

You could start a service where folks could come over and try various ukes before ordering one from the manufacturer...

Well, the "Susie" part should have been a hint. Excuse my flub up.
Here is a shot of the photo art I have over my desk. That's me with some Asian guy I ran into a few years back.

Nah! Jerry is ahead.
What a great place to hang out! Well done!
Normally it is you can take the Texan out of Texas, but...
Does it work the same way with Vegas? Or does now everything that happened there stay there?
