About 5 years ago I got a long service award from work and used it to buy a baritone uke. I love it to bits and it suits me so much better than a guitar. Would love a solid body electric one now. Maybe a flying V :-)<br /><br />Phil.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896210443010072726.post-57281574989442117762012-09-08T16:22:15.467-07:002012-09-08T16:22:15.467-07:00It is interesting reading about your baritones.

I got three Harmonys, serviceable but somewhat crude. I had a Martin but sold it. I like my two Favillas much better. Someone said Favillas were considered the "poor man's Martin". I like their feel and sound better. I recently acquired an old Gibson. The vertict is still out on that one. Seems fine so far. ... jimAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896210443010072726.post-87251583980165663942012-08-07T00:22:37.608-07:002012-08-07T00:22:37.608-07:00Joyful is certainly the feeling.
I can't stop...Joyful is certainly the feeling.<br /><br />I can't stop buying them now! 16 years go I spent $1000 on a Maton acoustic guitar. I tried to master it but found it just too hard. It sits in its beautiful hard case und my bed. My nephew who is very talented plays it once in a blue moon when he come to visit. I have 1 soprano and 3 tenors now!. I won't rest until I get my first baritone! I know absolutely nothing about music theory! It is embarrassing really. But I like to make a noise and so fluff along anyway!<br /><br />PaulaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896210443010072726.post-84605615185374171272012-08-06T20:03:42.000-07:002012-08-06T20:03:42.000-07:00Paula:

I started at 45, and it's a joy to be able to express oneself musically and to play music with others.<br /><br />Jeff / Humble UkerHumbleUkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01856459353622319763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896210443010072726.post-27506287601565433452012-08-06T14:41:28.801-07:002012-08-06T14:41:28.801-07:00I am so happy t have found this site.

At 58, I have only just started playing uke after a life time of believing I would never play an instrument. <br /><br />I love it and can't believe how happy it makes me feel.<br /><br />Thank you and so many of your contemporaries for nurturing this wonderful instrument!<br /><br />Regards<br />Paula<br />xAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
