So I feel really awkward posting this here, but I need some ukulele help.

I'd call you stupid if you agreed with me. I mean, straight up doggo, you stupid.

I was actually intending on doing just this. Did you shop around for the best quality? Lemme know what's good.

My boyfriend and I actually spent a lot of time looking into what is the best ukulele for a decent price. He bought it for me as a gift, and got me a Lanikai 21C. It's a really good beginner's uke, and decent enough to stay with you longer than that. I really like my uke a lot, and often take it with me where ever I go ust because its so much fun to play. I'm fairly certain that I've annoyed my coworkers with too many tales of it, so yeah. I love my uke.
Here is a review of the Lanikai brand. That review is from the site Ukulele Hunt, which really, if you are considering getting a uke, I'd check it out. It's a really nice site, and has a lot of really good information on ukes.

Actually, the clarinet and the saxophone are fairly similar, and it is pretty easy to transition from one to another. Especially if you play tenor sax, as it's in the same key, uses the same fingering and all that. I know a fair few clarinettists who play both quite easily. They even go from the clarinet to the different saxophones, putting them in different keys, quite easily! The flute would be hard to change over to because it uses a fundamentally different way to create a sound in the instrument, as it doesn't use a reed like the clarinet and sax.

That's weird, I was going to say the opposite! I transitioned from flute to alto sax and, despite the difference in reed embouchure vs wind, I found it very easy because of the similarity in finger positioning (and went on to dabble in bari and tenor sax which obviously they all have the same fingerings as an alto)... however I tried to learn clarinet a couple years ago and found it impossible because of the insane fingering chart I was staring at and trying to learn.
Interesting, I guess. ... but, oh, uh, what was everyone else talking about?
