I think I am starting to see the BB store for what it really is.
So this was the ad that struck a chord and made the scales fall from your eyes?
Why not watch Youtube videos instead?
This innovative training device can help you pick up a ukulele and immediately annoy anyone within 100 feet!
FTFY.
Isn’t this post supposed to have “HEY KIDS!” in red at the top and be placed next to the X-Ray Specs ad?
Weirdly, it was. I mean it has always seemed like self parody, and it is still.
But that ad copy, that model, for this product. Well, that really helped me see what is really going on here.
…and made the scales fall from your eyes?
Well there would be no playing of scales by ear that’s for sure
Edited to add: but whatever, if you have the cash why not? There’s no such thing as cheating in ukulele
But there may be strings attached.
If you can’t pick up a ukulele and start playing semi-competently within an hour, you should probably put it down and find some bongos or something.
This device can help you pick up a ukulele and start playing right now
Is it… a bong?
Please no
