I hardly ever post but have no doubt I frequent these forums. I started with a laminate kala and over the past year have come to love both uke and guitar. I see some beautiful pieces of art that I wish I could afford, but as a twenty- something I would like to show off my babies that I do have. I do have a question. When it comes to mid-range instruments I couldn't be happier with my Pono uke and Faith guitar. For those who can't spend thousands at the moment, is there any better!
