I'm looking to get my hands on a cheap uke to bring along when I go overseas. In a few weeks I'm heading off to France for a bit, then doing research for my thesis project in Kruger Park Game Reserve in S. Africa for 2 months.
I don't want to risk the ukes I already have (see my signature for the kinds) and want to pick up a cheap uke that isn't too crappy when it comes to sound. Since it will be living in a backpack or suitcase for its travels andbe in pretty dry environments without humidifiers, I'm going to have to go for a laminate of some sort. And I'd like to keep it at a soprano size for easy or transport in carry-on luggage.
Also, I'm probably going to be slapping stickers all over this guy as well as possibly paint on it, so a matte finish would be best I think.
Basically as long as it will stay in tune, and the intonation isn't terrible, it'll work. I'll be throwing some Worth CM or D'Addarios on it anyway, so that wshould help it out a little bit
I'd also like to keep it under 80-100$. If anyone has one for sale, that would be fantastic, otherwise I'll be purchasing it online.
Thanks
