I have more ukuleles than I need. Or should. I don't really collect them, I just ended up with them.
The first was a Christmas present from my wife after we got married in Hawaii. A pretty koa laminate concert.
The second is a vintage Kamaka that a friend had rotting in a storage unit because he didn't know or care about what it was. I traded him something for it.
The third is a Kala USA model which I designed for a contest so they sent me a few. I gave most away to friends.
The fourth is a Kanile'a one-of-a-kind soprano Soundmonster with a KU headstock, which I traded a different uke for (that I traded a Gibson guitar for, and which I had traded a cheapo Chinese bass for!)
The fifth is another Kala uke, this time a Steampunk one that was also a freebie as a winning design in the same contest.

Making this list, I just realized I have five ukuleles and I haven't paid for any of them! :D
