Just four strings
Yes, you can buy a ukulele on a whim. We don’t have the data to back this up, but we kind of expect that the majority of ukuleles are bought on a whim. It would make sense, too, considering that even extraordinarily nice ones are still pretty cheap and that the amount of effort required to go from zero experience to reasonably competent is probably the shortest for any instrument outside of a tambourine.
So yeah. Whim time. For twenty bucks you’ll get this rad uke (yes, you can call it a rad uke) and a handy gig back to keep your adorable little axe safe (no, you probably shouldn’t call it an adorable little axe).
And then what? We’re not sure. But it seems like you can probably watch about four YouTube videos on playing ukulele and have some idea of what you’re doing. Compare that to something like a guitar where you can spend four videos just watching experienced players argue about the right way to tune the dumb thing. And all those strings? Forget about it.
Four strings. Great sound. Bag included.
It’s going to be very cool.
(And seriously: twenty bucks!)
