Hello,
are there a list of brands/manufacturers that are renowned for their "light build". After learning more about Ukuleles, I realize, my first one I bought was overbuilt ... I bought a Martin C1K and could clearly see the difference on the build... The Martin just feels so light and right to play and sound was just not comparable. I don't even touch my first Ukulele anymore... it's a shame because we bought it when we were in Hawaii. But since it was our first purchase we spent 380 dollars on it, so my wife and i can't bare to part with it out. It'll be just a display Ukulele
However I would like to buy another quality instrument and lightly built like the Martin. The easiest thing would be to buy another Martin. But would love to try another brand.
The only brand I know of right now that compare is perhaps the Kiwaya? Unfortunately there are no stores that carry Kiwaya where I live. So our next purchase would probably be blind through a trusted retailer (HMS, UkeRub,etc).
Feel free to list anymore brands of the same ilk.
Thank you.
