If you have Sausage Fingers should you play a bigger ukulele, or should you stick to the traditional sizes? Mike argues for bigger ukuleles for Sausage Fingered Individuals. Aldrine argues for people buying the instrument that they want. We also hear their opinions on replacing a nut on an ukulele, traits to look for in a good ukulele, and how do you know if a sales rep is trustworthy?
