But I also feel I know very little about the instrument in terms of what really draws some Acoustic Guitar players to enjoy the Uke as well. If you have one, how would you describe/compare it to an acoustic guitar in terms of playability, styles, sound...or even how long your adjustment period with it was until it "clicked" for you...and what drew you to the Uke and what do you enjoy about it?
As a guitar player, I knew a traditional soprano would be too small, so I got a nice {edit} concert size. It sounds great, but I still find that more complex cords are tough on such a small fretboard. I'm going to move up to a {edit} tenor size next. Any bigger and they don't sound like a ukulele to me.
