I'm just going to leave this here:
I won a basic Kala KA-C concert in a raffle about 4 years ago. It became my "beater" ukulele just because it is something I would not really buy for myself but as it turns out is a darn good ukulele,
by that I mean very playable, sounds OK, etc. I decided that it would live in my car "for emergencies" and has come in quite handy many times - a couple of professional musician friends have used it at gigs, I used it for an impromptu gig, I have it as a spare to share at Kanikapila, I have something to play when I go to the beach, when I am waiting for someone, etc.
I live in Ewa Beach, where it is often over 80 degrees outside, and the car it is living in is usually parked outside.
So far, so good!
I AM NOT CONDONING THIS BEHAVIOR, just sharing my experience.
This is one tough little ukulele and plays well, and is no worse for wear.
