Hi Hive account@annsita if you love the sound of an instrument, just start learning to play it. This little instrument is a small ukulele with 4 strings which is even easier learning to play than on a guitar with 6 strings. I play both instruments and like both. My westernguitar got a big sound that is full of overtones. The ukulele is sweetsounding and you can carrie it to every place you want because of the small sice. Ukulele is a beautiful instrument for beginners and I recommend you to try one out. life is easy:-)
