First off I have no Uke Stores remotely close to me. Meaning nothing under a 4 hour drive. Other than Guitar Center and a couple of Mom and Pop places that carry 3 or 4 Ukes. This will be my first Uke. Well I did have one about 5 years ago but work and a lot of other things got in the way so I sold it.
I am going to go with Mim. She emailed me a few to look at and I have narrowed it down to these 2 ukes in my price range. $200-$250 Here are links for both. Both Ukes are Concert size.
