I've been doing some research on the various ukulele brands and what neck joint the builders implement when building their ukuleles. I know there isn't a lot of tension, but still I believe a strong neck joint helps the vibration of the strings and ultimately tone and volume.
I would like to ask in your opinion, what is the best neck joint specific to ukuleles? Has anyone experienced a neck joint failure with a ukulele and if so, what joint was utilized. Also, I would like to hear the pros and cons of the various types of neck joints.
From my research, here's what I've found.
Looking forward to your input and opinions.

- Martin - Dovetail (supposed to be the strongest)
- Kanile'a - Biscuit joint with heel glued directly to body
- Kamaka - Biscuit joint with heel glued directly to body
- KoAloha - No joint and heel glued directly to body
Looking forward to your input and opinions.
