Like everyone else I know, I am Ukulele crazy. I picked up one at Appellation Bluegrass last year because I was in the neighborhood and I really like that shop and want to give them money. It's the mass produced standard Mahalo. It really isn't a great instrument. It is hard to tune and has buzzes and is dull/lacks any pop.
This puts me in an unusual position. I think a good player can make any instrument sing. I am still far from being good at ukulele. I really want to step up in instrument quality. As you may know, I have no problem with obtaining an instrument on whim but what should I do with this student model instrument? It has an Octofoil sticker on it and that kind of makes it special and mine. Aside from a died on the table circuit bent keyboards and a clarinet I got off of free cycle for the local middle school I don't think I have ever gotten rid of an instrument before no matter what the condition.
I can't just throw it out and I really don't want to hang on to it until I eventually parts it out for the crappy tuners and then wonder what to do with a tuner less uke. Does anyone want to take it from me? I'll deliver it anywhere in the Baltimore area after the snow is gone and the DC area when I get a chance. I'll ship it anywhere at cost!
I wonder if the antique banjo ukulele at Teds is still there...
