Hi Guys,
I'm a total n00b and have been trying to decide for a few weeks now what kind of Ukulele to go with as a beginner. For the longest time I was convinced that I wanted a Kamaka Soprano, partially because of the Kamaka name, and partially because I know it's a quality instrument that would be very hard to go wrong with.
Over the past week or so I changed my mind and decided to get a Concert instead of the soprano, and decided that I also like the look of the KoAloha concerts.
At any rate, I have two options that have presented themselves to me:
1) Buy a second hand Kamaka Concert that was never used and stored in the closet for the past year so it's in mint condition - $600 for just the Ukulele
2) Buy a brand new KoAloha Concert + tuner + hard case + humidifier - $660
I'm really having a hard time trying to decide where my money is best spent. It's really hard to go wrong with either instrument, I guess all i'm asking is if anyone here owns, or has played both a KoAloha & Kamaka Concert and can tell me which way I should tip the boat.
Thanks and Aloha!
