Re: Ukulele as enjoyable as mando?
When talking Ukes, one needs to remember that there is a variety of ukulele type instruments; Banjolele, Resoukes, and 4 different sizes of standard ukes to choose from. If you need volume consider the banjolele or the Resonator Ukulele.
I have both a soprano ukulele and a Banjolele. The little soprano gets quickly lost at a jam, but the banjolele is never overpowered and cuts with the best of mandolins. I perform with a trio, and we normally amplify all our instruments for most venues, but we never have to worry about the banjolele which is used for some jug band tunes. It is interesting to note that the banjolele always attracts the most interest and questions from folks.
It seems to me that learning another instrument like the Ukulele has no downside, and serves to provide the musician with yet another palette to make music.
If you can read this, thank a teacher. If you can read this in English, thank a vet.
