By chance I happened upon a video of a good player using a Mahalo U320c (about $70) in an instrumental piece (just playing, no singing) and was impressed. Whilst they are very affordable other Ukes of that brand haven’t encouraged me to think any worth more than a second look, but this video raises a question in my mind and challenges my prejudice : https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ur_CroYRtGU . The moto of the retailer behind the video is “reasonably decent guitars that won’t break your wallet”, the idea sounds good to me.
Asking the forum what wallet friendly Ukes are will get a thousand different answers. Instead I’d like to ask for video links to ‘reasonably decent Ukes that won’t break your wallet’ being played relatively well in instrumental only pieces and some supporting comment to go with each link. For ‘won’t break your wallet’ I suggest a limit of roughly $120 and for well played I suggest comparative to the video above (so not undemanding, how good can you find). I suspect that there are some surprises out there.
