I was given a ukulele by my brother in law and fell in love with playing. Since, I have been spending some time looking at different instruments on the internet. Never realized there was such a variety in ukes. Not only in size, but in design, materials, construction etc. Decided I had to try playing some so I drove to Guitar Center in Ocala 50 miles away. I tried out most of what they had on hand and ended up purchasing a Cordoba 21s soprano. It just felt good when I played it. I think I got a good deal. It has a solid Engelmann spruce top with ebony back and sides and mahogany neck. I paid $110 after tax. I am too new to the instrument to do reviews or anything. I live by myself and was itching to share the news of my first uke purchase so I decided to post!
