UAS ~ Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome. Once you get the ukulele bug it's really, really hard not to start collecting them.

I started with the Flea because, for my needs, it was the best choice: durable, easy to play, unusual in appearance, and I could take it to the beach. Then I saw the Risa electric concert stick in a Friends Of Old Puppy video and I fell in love.

My ukes: a Risa electric concert stick and a concert Flea.

 Then I bought the Dolphins as Christmas gifts and I just love to look at them! So, even though they're not mine they feel at home here.

Christmas Dolphins: Kate likes pink and Zoe likes blue.
