I've been lucky enough to visit Hawaii four times in my lifetime and have always had a fascination for the culture, and of course the ukulele. I've got a crappy one I picked up from an airport when I was fairly young, and managed to get hold of a very basic £25 (roughly $40) ukulele for my Dad but since haven't been able to find anything for myself. It was a local guitar shop that gets in random stock as it comes rather than reselling specific brands.
I've played guitar most of my life and am very familiar with stringed instruments (can play a bit of banjo too) so am looking for a good mid-range ukulele. I'm more about vocals than playing and am looking for a nice ukulele to sit around in the park with friends and jam a few tunes, maybe play it on an open mic night as something a bit different.
I live in the UK and finding a ukulele beyond a plastic Spongebob Squarepants job, so will have to order online most likely, so I have to keep shipment costs in mind as well but was looking to spend roughly $80-$100 but with barely any idea as to how much a good ukulele would cost I need some sound advice.
After a little research a soprano ukulele, the more traditional ones, seemed like the best bet but if the consensus is that a deeper model would be better... you get the idea.
