I've been playing for a few months now. In my area, I get limited opportunity to get my hands on really nice ukes so my experience is limited.
I currently play a $100 Lanikai, which was enough to get me hooked but I'm jonesin' for something nicer.
My local store has two really nice tenors that I'm considering grabbing (one of, not both). One's a new HF3, the other is a slightly used (excellent condition) T100. I've handled and played both but it's hard to get apples to apples comparison because one is tuned with a low G. They're both koa and beautiful and the difference in price isn't enough to sway me either way. The T100 has a radiused ebony fretboard that I like the look of but at my current level, I can't tell if it affects playability
Does anyone have experience with both of these or any opinions in general on used vs new or radiused/ebony fretboards?
