What size did you try, Joe? I started with a soprano (a little cheapie but it has a reasonable sound and is a good beginner level instrument) when injuries to my left wrist and hand made it easier to play uke than guitar. Being used to the large reach of a guitar meant the small soprano size kept bugging me......my fingers kept over-reaching - so one day I tried a tenor and loved it so much that I ended up buying one made by Doug Eaton - which I love. Two years later I bought a baritone uke from Doug, and last year played a gorgeous bass uke he made......I was very tempted but didn't succumb, however if he is at the National Folk Festival at Easter (bought my two Eaton ukes there) I may try it again. And again.
