Hi All,
I normally read other people's thoughts more than post but I had to share this.
I had stopped by the surf shop where my daughter works just to say hi. This particular shop sell a decent amount of ukuleles and I got to talking to the store owner about them. We played several and discussed what we liked and didn't like about them. Then he said he had something he wanted to show me. He came back from the store room with a box and asked me if I had ever seen one of these. It was a kala thin line baritone with the solid spruce top.
Now I have always been taken with Kala's travel ukes but I just couldn't justify spending the money. The uke was beautiful and played great ( even if it was my first time with a Bari). He then went on to tell me he was getting ready to send it back to Kala because he just never found anyone interested and a couple of the wound strings were frayed when he got it. I told him I loved it and he said he would make me a deal.
$125 out the door:drool: for a new Kala travel baritone, gig bag, and a set of lava strings because of the wound strings starting to fray. I couldn't believe it.
What else could I do but buy it right then. Now I have a uke I've always wanted and I get to learn to play baritone.
By the way the uke sounds great. I may work on the action some but right now I'm enjoying just as it is.
Sometimes it's just a matter of being in the right place at the right time.
