Having just read through Naisha's post on Lanikai vs Thomann (https://forum.ukuleleunderground.com/showthread.php?141384-Lanikai-solid-top-or-thomann-full-solid-uke), I thought I'd throw out another comparison. Both are European brands and I've found limited reviews of the specific models I'm looking at, so I figured I could seek some trusted opinions here....
I'm looking at the Kremona Mari Concert and the Carvalho Slim Koa Wood Concert. I acknowledge they are different price points (£295 and £209 respectively), and they have two different forms (full body and slim body respectively). I'm looking to replace my travel ukulele, but the concert case I travel with allows room for either the slim body or the full body. I'm interested in your opinions on either brand or either specific uke. Is the Carvalho a decent upgrade to an all-laminate travel uke? Is the additional expense of the Kremona Mari worth it?
