When anything gets you down, there is nothing like a musical instrument to soothe you, to help you confront your demons, or simply to escape.
Ukelele is relatively easy to learn since it only has four strings. However, as with anything it can be simple or complex...

What is a trip, is that mandolin tuning is nearly identical to violin tuning (there are extra strings tuned an octave higher on a mandolin). It's fun fucking around on a violin playing it like a mandolin (my classical musician friends crack up when I show them how I play the violin).
The reverse is interesting too:
Now you know why mandolins and violins sound so nice together:
