Thirteen Orphans
Dec 2, 2012

I am a writer, a doctor, a nuclear physicist and a theoretical philosopher. But above all, I am a man, a hopelessly inquisitive man, just like you.
One thing that has thrown me for a loop is how loud this drat thing is. I played baritone ukulele for years and only ever fingerpicked with the pads of my fingers, on rare occasion I would strum with my fingernails. As a beginner I have been very deliberate about not strumming too hard, I’m using a 1.5mm pick, and it still sounds like double the volume of my uke. I’m pretty sure I’m doing it right, though.
