I got ukes.....a bunch of them and I enjoy playing them and the sound high quality ukes produce. Cheap ones sound like crap. I prefer tenors in low G linear tuning, sopranos for strumming/singing and baritones are tuned DGBE. The D and G strings are wound so it sounds like a mini 4 string classical guitar.
Ok I am done defending the ukulele.......back to playing my guitars
