OK...so I've been trying to keep my UAS in check till I memorize major chords, switch chords smoothly, and learn at least 5 songs. I'm hoping to meet my goal by my birthday (Nov. 29).
I currently have a Koa Pili Koko Deluxe Soprano (solid Acacia body) and have been practicing on and off for maybe...1 month? Before I acquired the KPK, I was looking into a Kala Spruce Top Concert from MGM for about $140.
My question:
Would I be "downgrading" if I decided to make my next ukulele a Kala Spruce Top Concert since the back and sides are laminated mahogany?
I was also considering a Mainland Concert (gloss, gold geared tuners/undecided pegs). I've been reading and hearing nothing but positive things about Mainlands. Plus it's solid mahogany and a beautiful ukulele at a nice price.
Have any of you started off with a solid wood uke and then purchased a laminate/solid top? What are your thoughts?
Sorry for rambling. Just preparing for my 1st purchase, as my KPK was a gift!
