Greetings all around!
My current "office uke," the Lanikai concert, has been passed along to a friend for her evaluation of whether or not she likes concerts vs. sopranos, and whether she wants to play lefty or righty (she's a lefty.)
Meanwhile, my little office is uke-less. This cannot do, so I'm considering the above options. A few things to factor into the consideration:
**My tastes are strongly leaning towards the longer scale ukes (super concert, tenor, bari) with tenor being my fave.
**I have zero control over the climate in my office, so with winter coming on conditions are likely to be very dry. Thus, I must humidify or buy a laminate.
**Due to recent acquisitions, my Pono isn't getting much love in the house. I'm actually considering selling. I could take it into the office with a humidifier, but do I want such a nice instrument in the office?
**I love a 1.5 inch nut width, so I'd prefer that as well as a uke that will handle fingerstyle. I've been very intrigued by the thought of a laminate Kiwaya, but apparently those are very hard to find these days.
I welcome any and all thoughts and discussion. Thanks in advance!
