Hi. I am a relatively new player upgrading my cheap ukulele to a real one, but before I go to the store and check out these three babies - a Kala Spruce Top, a Kala Solid Mahogany and a Pono Solid Ohai (any opinions on the ohai would be greatly appreciated. I can't find a lot of info on this particular uke, in terms of how it sounds, if it's good compared to the other two, etc.) - I was wondering if anyone could give me a list of rundown of things I should check on before picking the one. Like, should I play the scales on them? Or, play a song on them to see how it sounds? (if so, is there a simple easy song to play that will cover everything (like the way typing "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" would help test a typewriter) What are the musts in checking it out?
And how about the physical instrument - are there specific no-nos to look out for?
Thanks!
