I'm in a remote mountain hamlet with few (if any) folks nearby playing any kind of traditional music. [/me whines pathetically] I started on mountain dulcimer over a half-century ago but am mostly a folk-blues git-picker with strong bites of mando and banjo. I started on 'ukes a few years back with a soprano banjo-uke that I mostly ignored until recently. Or maybe I should count the concert-uke-size cuatro-menor strung GGG-CCC-EEE-GGG we bought in Paracho, Mexico. But my downfall really began a few months ago when my wife bought me a Kala KA6 6-string tenor 'uke. Zing! We now have 3 more cheap sopranos strung variously, 4- and 8-string tenors, a 10-string tiple, and cheap 4-string concert and baritone 'ukes. (And a pile of mandolins, but that's another story.) Which of those count as taropatches? I guess a) those with 6-8-10-12 strings and b) those tuned slack. Anyway, I'm here to learn All Things Taropatch as best I can. Cheers!
