12/365 - Uke
My dad gave me a ukulele for Christmas. The only stringed instrument I've ever played is piano, and that was a long, long time ago and not even remotely similar to playing any of its stringed cousins.
This is a starter Kala, a soprano - something inexpensive I put on my wish list because I wasn't sure I would like playing and I didn't want to invest a lot of money into a hobby I wouldn't enjoy.
Turns out I like it enough that I have a banjolele coming on Tuesday. I've always wanted to play banjo, but I don't think I have the chops to manage all them twangy strings plus fingerpicking. I think a banjo ukulele is more my speed. When I'm feeling less twangy, this little gal fills the bill.
My youngest son has also found himself enamored of my uke, so he's ordered one for himself - also arriving Tuesday. Looking forward to having a fam jam with my boy!
Meanwhile, this beauty, the uke that started it all - I think she needs a name. Got suggestions?
