Need some help deciding

Hi so I just sold off a couple ukes lately and I have a bit of extra $$ lying around for a low end uke. I've got a tenor kala solid lacewood w/spructeop and a tenor eleuke, I'm looking for something smaller (on the aforementioned I use low G, so I'm thinking for something reentrant)

I've got it narrowed down to:
Ohana PK-25G $145 (solid mahog)

Kala Soprano Longneck $199(solid mahog)
http://cgi.ebay.com/Kala-ka-asmsln-...ash=item3a518058ed&_trksid=p4634.c0.m14.l1262

Ohana Longneck $125 (solid mahog)
http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Ohana-SK-30...286.m7QQ_trkparmsZalgo=LVI&itu=UCI&otn=3&ps=5

or both
Kala Soprano longneck laminate, $60+
and pineapple laminate (Kala or Lanikai LU-21P) $60+

Theres a guy that bought a kala namm booth so hes got quite a few im sure i could snag one.


This would be more for fun and to have something re-entrant than probably a primary player (but I may get into high G, so who knows) What would you suggest I do? What would you do?

That's a very good price on the Ohana longneck... even without the free shipping! My vote is for that or the Kala longneck.

edit: Case for the Longneck Ohana = regular concert sized case with a baby blanket.

I'd go for one of the Ohanas. My husband has one, it is lovely to play and put together very well. Kalas are nice too but I love his Ohana

I love the crown on the ohana pineapple

new entrant

this would be at the absolute highest end of my consideration, but:

I really like that also. I just dont know if its signifigantly better than the ohana pineapple, as this is just a "for fun" instrument, and my wife insists I have a pineapple (what, a wife encouraging UAS? Believe it) she feels bad because I sold off 2 of my ukes already

Another good choice are the Mainland solid cedar tops. They got voice! He has some mango soprano pineapples coming out around Sept. of course if you want to spend a wee bit more $ Pono figured mango soprano pineapples are way pretty. Ohana's pineapple is very nice though.

I know, I was considering mainland because A) I like geared tuners better, and B) no setup concerns but I just hate hate hate that rope binding and can't get over it. I actually was thinking the honeybee soprano from mainland as its got normal looking binding/purfing. If the mainland mango is solid, and has a normal binding like the honeybee instead of rope, I'll wait for it.

I just got my Kala solid long neck soprano from MGM and it is awesome. I tend to go for the warmer tone and it has it. it has aquilas on it, but later I may try some worth bm's. it will be even warmer. I would say its a great buy and it fits in a soprano case like a glove.( i thought it wouldnt....)but you cant go wrong with this uke!!

I really want WhenDogsSings' Bushman Jenny Pineapple.... I like the binding and inlay, and geared tuners, which the PK-25G doesn't have... They should be fundamentally the same uke, a solid mahogany from the same factory, so is it worth it to go with a used Bushman w/no warranty vs. A new ohana uke?
