I played guitar a couple decades ago and wanted to get back into playing some music again. Read some decent reviews about Donner ukes for beginners, and after a few days I’m pretty pleased with this one.
Now to build up finger callouses again because OW.
I don't usually keep it on the wall like that because I know that it could just fall over so don't come at me in the comments but I just got it and I'm really excited
I suck at strumming though so I'm using a plastic pic is that okay? I don't have a felt pic and don't plan on going out of my way to get a pic
P.s you've probably never heard of the brand Queen because it's a local brand from the country I'm from also it's a concert for anyone wondering
I'm teaching myself baritone uke and wondering what the "correct" way to make the shape is? Or at least, how do the people of this subreddit do it? I'm imagining this is similar to the discussion around "do you hold the neck with your thumb wrapped over so you can hold down the 4th string, or only use your other four fingers to push strings?", where the consensus seems to be "only use the four fingers because it will be better once you're more experienced." My hand is used to barring them because I learned bar chords on guitar first. I've been trying to force myself to finger each separately but struggle to get my hand to do the thing. If I bar all four strings to make the shape, am I developing a bad habit that will cause struggles later?
so i tried to learn alongside a youtube series, but i quickly had a hard time keeping up.
i specifically struggle to change chords quickly enough for the songs to sound decent.
sorry if this is the wrong place to seek guidance, but really any resources would be so helpful and appreciated!
i’m really wanting to get back into music as i used to sing a lot, and im hoping i can find something that works with the ukulele!

I came across this vintage Martin soprano for sale going for $200. I’m unfamiliar with the model if it’s a 1950’s model.
Should I repair this just in case? How is its condition?
