Ukulele Problem

Ana’ole custom tenor with koa top and mango sides/back.

How many ukes must one have before it’s actually classified as a mental illness?

The thing that bothers me the most about this isn’t that I have no couch space. It’s that there’s only one soprano there and I’m going to need another one or two to balance out my uke collection.

L-R:

Concert Fluke, Kamaka soprano, Aria baritone, Maui Music 6-string tenor, Harmony baritone, KoAloha tenor, Kala U-Bass, concert pineapple Flea, Keli’i tenor

I keep seeing these under the ukulele tag. Apparently they’re from an Etsy store called Celentano Woodworks. Have you ever played one of these? They look really neat, but how do they stack up as serious playable instruments?
