I’m upgrading to a better ukulele this week. A good well known brand. Not like the crappy one I currently have. I’ve used it for a couple years but now I feel it’s hindering my progress because the way it’s built isn’t ideal. So I’m upgrading this week. To a significantly better one. My old one cost like $35-$40. It’s a tenor. The new tenor ukulele I’m getting is around $260. Not that price is everything but sometimes you get what you pay for. I told myself I’d use my old one for a couple years and if I still wanted to upgrade after that then I could. And I do. I stuck with it. So I’m allowing myself to upgrade.

Plus it’s really beautiful. I’ve been eyeing it for a few years now but didn’t want to pay for it unless I knew for sure ukulele would be something I’d stick with.

I do love violin and that’s still my main instrument however there’s something about playing a ukulele or any guitar like instrument. Strumming it. Picking. It’s a different experience than using a bow but I love it too.
