That stuff is GREAT.

How much did your Uke cost? I don't like playing the guitar, but I think messing around with a uke would fit me better.

Well, since he got the uke as a prezzie from me, he doesn't know the actual cost. Are you wanting a Uke? I could arrange that... pm me sweetie.

I'm not sure how much CMJ paid for my ukulele but I think around $50. If and when you buy one just make sure it's not junk. There are a lot of places in wich to find stringed instruments like 99ยข stores. the instruments they have are garbage. Looks like a guitar, but it's not. Ukulele's aren't necessarily supposed to be cheap; they're still stringed instruments.
Now, about "messing around" with a uke. Y'know, it's still a guitar, only four strings and the strings and frets are closer together so besides size and number of fingers needed to play it's the same.
Still, that'd be awsome if you got one. Might change your mind about guitar.
If it's easy you want then I suggest an Autoharp or Chromaharp.
