Hello everyone. I don't know anything about Ukuleles but I have been researching them online and been watching lots of youtube videos to educate myself. I need this forum's help purchasing a nice ukulele for a close friend of mine (as a surprise) who plays a lot of bluegrass, folk, country type of music.
price range of $500-600
I have some questions.
•how much does brand play into the quality/ sound quality of these instruments at that price range? Does a specific brand makes better models at my price range than others?
•what do I need to watch out when buying expensive uk?
•is Amazon really a NO-NO store to buy?
•what bells and whistles companies try to sell you to add cost to the uk but irrelevant to the sound quality and feel of the uk? *How does Martin Uk compare to some of the Hawaii an brand names?
•what up with Ohana All Solid Models? are these all solid wood or some are spruce tops?
Here are some ukuleles on my list. Concert or Tenor( prefer)
•Cordoba 35T-CE Tenor Acoustic-Electric Ukulele
*Lanikai Manana-T Hawaiian Solid Body Acoustic-Electric Tenor Ukulele *T1K Koa Tenor Ukulele
*Ohana TK-35GCE
*Ohana Ukuleles BK-35G (baritone)
*Pono ATD - Gloss Acacia Tenor
*Cordoba 30T-CE Solid Mahogany
*Koaloha Opio Concert Long Neck Ukulele Package (KCO-02)
•any KoAloha ( how do they compare with other brands?)
I would appreciate suggestions, please.
lastly, any good place to purchase these instruments. preferable a place that offers good pricing
thank you all for looking into this! your replies are greatly appreciated
