Ha, I was saying this recently... learning to play an instrument did wonders for my mental health really. And it does it even if you're not actually really good at it!
And if you're thinking about it... consider #Ukulele ! Serendipitously, Sammy has this new video about it and puts it better than me.
Ah, and of course I have a typo in the alt text... Sorry fedibuddies that rely on alt-text, that was of course "book-matched", not boot (don't want to delete and redraft but wanted to correct the error somehow).
I just realized I didn't brag about my Christmas gift here on mastodon yet...
Flight Navigator baritone ukulele: not only the flamed maple top is amazing (and the rosewood back/sides look great) but, and arguably more importantly, it sounds fantastic; great resonance, and amazing sustain. Not just from the wound strings BTW: the B and E strings also ring loud and clear.
Oh and the rosewood smells good while playing 😁😁
I'm really happy with it.
#introduction Hi mastodonians(?) I'm Renato, I'm an Italian living and working in Switzerland, I'm a sysadmin/devop by trade, I dabbled in game design and like to think about games. And hobby models. And ukulele. And food. And language and languages. And tech.
And a boatload of other stuff.
Check out my game A Scoundrel in the Deep that I wrote with my friend Flavio where you tell stories and play with (literal) fire:
