I see them on Amazon for $25 to $350.
I would definitely prefer one closer to $25 as I don’t see myself becoming a professional ukelelist, but I don’t want just a toy either.
Should I mention that I have a history of trying to teach myself to play musical instruments and giving up after a few weeks when it turns out to be hard? I’m also not known for my ability to take care of nice things. Yet, I have this feeling that if I don’t at least attempt to play the ukelele, I’ll regret it for the rest of my life.
