KuruPrionz Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Yes, I was in a music store recently and found it difficult to resist an 8 string tenor uke with octave strings and built in pickup. I passed but I want one!!!! Quote It took a chunk of my life to get here and I am still not sure where "here" is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Notes_Norton Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 My father played violin, trumpet, ukulele, and organ. I recall lazy Saturdays when dad would take out the uke with some well worn music books and play those old corny songs while we sang along. American songbook standards and Hawaii-pop songs of the Arthur Godfrey era. Fond memories. I have his uke and violin now that he's gone. I can play chords on the uke, but can't get a decent sound out of the violin (but then I haven't put time into it).

Greg Mein Posted October 8, 2019 Share Posted October 8, 2019 I've got a pretty respectable collection of guitars I've accumulated over the years. I Wanted a guitar the moment I became aware of the Beatles however my mom insisted on keeping with the piano lessons. At five I probably wouldn't have been able to play one anyway. I certainly dived head long into them later! I've been in many bands over the years playing either/and/or keys and guitar but these days most calls come in for keyboards. Keyboardists, in this area anyway, are extremely difficult to find and most bands don't even bother. Guitarists, on the other hand, seem to be a dime a dozen.

KuruPrionz Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 This is why I learned how to play bass like a bassist!! That's another one that comes up scarce.
