Have never played an instrument before.
I need some advice on what to buy.
- I know I want a Tenor.
- I know I want something that sounds good, that has good Intonation.
- I don´t know the wood I want, so I will just go on what looks the best!
- My price range is maximum $300. Though I am far from made from money, so cheaper is good if I don't really get anything extra with the added pice. It's just that I love quality, how it feels, how it looks, the impression you get from things that you can just tell is quality. And besides, better to pay much once and not have to buy new just because I am not happy with the sound or quality. Though as I saw in another forum thread, maybe it is better to have a cheaper uke in the beginning, like the KA-TE or ST. That way you always have one that you can bring with you, that you don't feel you need to be super careful with. That you can let your friends touch, etc.
I have been thinking a little bit about getting an acoustic electric tenor, is this advisable? Good things with it? Bad things? Mainly I just think it might sounds awesome once I do learn to play something, to fill the whole room with the sound. But maybe it's better for the future? And I do find it a little bit tacky to have a hole with technology put on a beautiful peace of art (though I love technology) ... gaaah I don't know, so many unknowns, so that's why I am asking you uku players!
I have been looking at the Kala KA-ST, but I just can't find it in Sweden where I live.
What I do find is the KA-TE. Is this a good option? How does it compare to the ST? Or is it more like the KA-T in quality? Is it so called laminate, or what?
Otherwise I have been looking at mainland, just beautiful ukuleles.
The most beautiful that I could buy are definitely:

But these are also nice, although not as nice: http://shop.mainlandukuleles.com/product.sc;jsessionid=C45D387C6E922EA678709BA851796F23.m1plqscsfapp01?productId=95&categoryId=3

Any other suggestions are very welcome, the more the better, sense a lot of the suggestions might not be available for Sweden.
Also, if there is any english stores with international shipping, that sell the Kala KA-ST it would be great to know of these!
BIG thanks in advance!
