I just got a nice Uke that I don’t need to improve upon in anyway. Totally happy and content... except I baby it. Which I tend to do with all my nice things. Anyway, my Kanile’a ain’t leaving the house anytime soon. I’ve been well aware of the rave reviews on the Clara. I almost went that route right off the bat. However, I decided I wanted Koa beauty and tradition first. Like I said, no regrets. I do now have a super hard time playing my Kala. Which is supposed to be my beater take anywhere, but I just miss my Kanile’a. Plus I like to record on the go. Not really trying to catch cool spontaneous recordings on my Kala. I really like Kala as a brand, probably the best value, but my model is too entry level for my champagne tone taste I’ve acquired. I know, what a Uke d$&k, but that’s how it is now.
Obviously, this all makes the Clara a superb choice for me. Being durable,
professional tone on the go. I don’t know if I’ve heard a single bad review.
Few questions:
Is the low G handled well? Or can it get too boomy?
Should I get a pickup installed? Kinda feel like the point is to not worry about it much. Will this make it a lot more delicate?
How is the basic finish on new models?
Should I spring for arched fretboard?
And any other Clara model info is much appreciated.
As always thanks for the input.
