The kid is great/fabulous/all that. I may as well be inspired by him when I'm buying an expensive guitar. Appreciate the tip, Duh.

Thanks SprintBob for getting the point. I meant it for humor, but the thread can be interpreted in a variety of ways so I enjoyed the responses from people who took it seriously.

I am afraid that you have misunderstood me.
No one doubts the superior skill of that musician who is not only better than me but he is better at the ukulele than 99 per cent of the members of agf are on guitar. I am highlighting that great skill by the musician is a totally different quality than the tone of the Instrument itself. The same musician should sound better on a better instrument just as the same world class 100 meter sprinter can run faster with better shoes or the same world class cyclist can cycle faster with a lighter and more aerodynamic bicycle and apparel. Is that more understandable to you?

Here is Classical Gas played on a ukulele But by a different musician. This arrangrment is more melodic and Less virtuosic. On the other hand if you separate the skill of the musician from the instruments inherent tone, The Ukulele that is used on this video seems to sound better.

Good players can sound good on mediocre instruments.
They can sound even better on fantastic instruments. That's why incredible and famous musicians don't play Walmart guitars.

You really can't make an accurate assessment of the tone of two instruments recorded in different rooms, using different microphones, going into different preamps, going into different recording systems. There are too many variables that are going to greatly change what you're hearing in those YouTube videos compared to the actual sound of those instruments.

Some of the least talented players usually have the most expensive instruments

You have determined this how? And even if it were true, why would it matter? I can assure you that many of the most talented players, such as Julian Lage and Richard Smith, have some very expensive instruments. Not because the instruments make them better players, but because they enjoy how they feel, sound, look, etc. And, in that sense, they are not really any different from than your average putter.

In that case, I should be playing a $20,000 custom build instead of my $2000 off the rack!
