I have been playing for a few months (and silently stalking here for the same length of time) and am ready for a second uke. I have a Kala concert - nothing special, but I didn't want to jump in wallet first before I played. I have few local purchasing options in Maine, but I did play a Martin S1, and was blown away (so much better than my Kala). I have been looking long and hard at the KoAloha Opio, the Pono MSD and MS on HMS. My budget is right around $400.
Anyway - the Martin is the only "nice" uke I have played. From what I read, the others may be better, but I have no way to play them. I am going to call HMS today, but wanted to know if anyone can give me any feedback. I didn't find anything else exactly on point. Any help appreciated!
