... a tenor size ukulele which has a good sound quality...

How could I have forgotten the ukulele? I have a couple of concert sized ukes, one of which can be plugged into an amp, and a banjolele. I also have a chromatic harmonica.

Of my collection, it is the guitar amd unamplified concert uke that I generally take to singarounds, open mics and the like, although I also like sing unaccompanied and perform the odd recitation or two. For instrumental sessions, I take the fiddle and mandolin. I am normally out playing about 8 times a month.

Of the others, such as the banjo, concertina, whistle and hammered dulcimer, I have only limited repertoire and they may only be seen in public once or twice a year. The more obscure instruments are generally just for fun at home.
