I just got back from my trip to North Carolina and while I was down there, aside from winning Aldrine's hat (!!!!!) I got myself my first legit uke from the Ukulele Academy in Wilmington. A koa soprano KoAloha. It came down to this one or a cedar and rosewood Mainland and just playing the KoAloha in the store I fell in love. Thanks to everyone who gave me advice about this in my last thread before I left! Just wanted to update you. Also, I have clear Worths on it now...anybody else recommend other strings? These sound pretty good. Just curious. Thanks!
