Help with buying a new Concert ukulele

Hello everyone,

I need some serious help cause I'm a bit confused.

I know what I want to buy. I want a Concert size Ukelele, cause I had a standard size one and it was just too small and limiting for me.

My level is beginner. However I would much like to play a good instrument or I will simply get discouraged at a very early stage.

Now...I'm in Greece so it's preferable to order my ukulele from an European online vendor to avoid the high cost of shipping. There are a couple of sites that I have in mind but I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention them here. My budget is up to 200 Euros and I'm looking for a concert uke.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

One of your better choices would be this store. Good reputation, good setups. Scroll down to 165 quid (Euros ??) to see the all solid wood Kamoas. Of all the choices, one of the better deals.

Some nice solid topped models there as well by Islander, Kala, and Ohana.

Yes you can rely on southern ukulele store. I have bought from them 2 or 3 times.

Good advice from both Phil's .

For what it's worth I have an Ohana CK20S and really like it. Smooth playing and a great price for a solid top mahogany uke.

Happy hunting and keep us posted

:agree: Yes, good choice if it fits your budget.

It would be hard to go wrong with this new David Newton long-neck concert for $750:

And if you truly are open to tenor, this new Covered Bridge sounds like a great deal. I have one of theirs tenors and it is truly, truly lovely (my uke teacher claimed dibs on it if I ever sell it). I have heard great things about Myrtle wood (supposedly great sound and one of the lower priced woods out there).
