So, I tried a ukulele on for size today. First one scratched the #$%! out of my thumb. The frets were like little knives. Ive got all these cuts. How (and why) would anyone play like that? After I started going Ouch, ouch, this is awful, why WHY GOD WHY, the salesman showed me ukes with bound frets. (Those of you who play guitar are probably like Duh, but I havent played a guitar in 30 years, and even then I was self-taught and 90% clueless because it was my Dads guitar and I didnt exactly have his permission to fool around with it.) Anyway...a PSA for all the whipper snappers out there...Dear Sweet Sunburned Salesman from [redacted], in the name of all that is holy, I am a 40-something year old woman. I can afford the *nice* ukulele. Skip the skin-shredding razor blade-encrusted fun toy from Hell, wont you? Ha ha, so now that thats out of the way, who wants to sing along with me on a few Jason Mraz tunes? Oh, you done done me in your OMG IT HURTS, PRECIOUS, IT CUTS, it BURNS, Precious! j/k I didnt get one yet, because I am interested in these: magicfluke/Magic-Fluke-Instruments-s/1843.htm And Im not making any promises, because who knows if I can stick to anything anymore in this day & age of too many things to do and not enough time (or fingers left, after the razor wire frets and all that), but this also looks intriguing: ukuleleguide/banjo-ukes.html
