Hi folks, Just getting started on the ukulele have the learning curve to go with it! Wanting to snag a great uke for low G tuning, want solid wood, great tone and playability. Been looking at Pono tenor Pro Classic's. Ebony/Cedar and Rosewood/Cedar. I like the radius fret board and truss rod. They look and sound great. The pro is the cost on a new Pono tenor PC can be in the 7-900$ range, close to a pre-loved K brand. So that got me to start looking around at the Kanile'a, KoAloha and Kamaka brands....opening up more and more questions....the resale and sound quality may be better for a K brand....etc. So far the K's seem to be winning, Kanile'a may be in front.
The tone I think that may work best for jazz/ blues would be stronger high/low mid's, not so much the super highs that some uke's produce. Need good note separation and sustain. Any ideas on brands to look at or stay away from?
Thanks for any input!
