Hi all!
I am planning to buy a left handed ukulele (or a righty and restring it, but I'd prefer the first), and I'm looking for some piece of advice.
I already play acoustic guitar and baglamas (both in left-handed stringing), a Greek folk instrument -you can check an example (2 to be exact ) here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u8tTpIAuy5c
my balgamas has a small bowl like the one the bearded guy is playing, and its scale from nut to bridge is around 35 cm.
Therefore, I'm comfortable with big scales and small scales.
Until now I've only fiddled around with some soprano ukuleles.
Since portability is a major issue on one hand, and on the other, having a somewhat broader playability; I am considering to get a concert ukulele as a first instrument.
Ideally, I would like to keep my budget low, but purchase a quality instrument for the price (i.e. with at least a solid top).
I've found this instrument from Caramel http://www.caramelukulele.com/left-...-spruce-mahogany-concert-ac-elec-ukulele.html
which is all-solid, lefty from construction, has electronics (although I'm primarily interested in natural sound), and its price with a soft case is around 100 euros. It seems quite a good deal.
Unfortunately, I have not found any reviews on it, or on the respective right-handed model, CC300. Has anybody from the forum tried them out? I've read some pretty good reviews on Caramel ukuleles, and they do seem to offer value for money instruments (I have not found any other all-solid ukulele in this price range), but not on this model.
Do you have any suggestions/remarks?
Thanks in advance!
PS: Just as info for e-shops etc, I am from Greece but right now I'm living in Germany.
