Help please....
I'm considering buying either a Tiple or an 8 String uke. It would be used as a rhythm instrument (strummed) most all of the time. Occasionally, I'd probably play arpeggios (coming from the Peter Buck school of guitar playing). I do want more of a full guitar like sound.
My thoughts are...I'm leaning toward the Ohana Tiple. On YouTube it seems to be fuller and more jangly, but I don't want to deal with another tuning or instrument. Any Tiple tuning tips? Is it similar enough to the uke so I can just pick it up and play?
Any recommendations on 8 string ukes? I'd like an acoustic electric and want to stay under the $500.00 price point.
And advice is appreciated.
