I'm looking to buy my first soprano. My first pick was an Oscar Schmidt spalted mango, but I've heard from numerous people that as good as they look, the sound is not as good as you'd expect. So I'm looking for a cheaper one. I've already picked out a few, but I can't decide on which.
1) Kala KA-SLNG soprano longneck. I love the sound of it, and I love the gloss finish. I just don't really like the fact that it's a longneck. If they have a regular soprano with the gloss, I'd easily choose that, but I haven't seen any.
2) Luna Honu soprano. I already have a Luna and it's very nice. But I kind of want to test out the waters on other companies ukes.
3) Cordoba 15SM soprano - I love the design and binding on it. I also like the sound. If it was a gloss finish, I would pick this one easily. But it's a matte finish.
4) Gretsch G9100 soprano - I love the classic look of it, which is why I can accept the fact that it doesn't have a gloss finish. I also like how the tuners are on the back. Only thing I dislike is the dark color.
Those are about it. I honestly can't decide and it's killing me. Does anyone have any input?
