Hello all! I've got questions loaded up with comparisons, so here goes.
So my next uke will, I think, be the Oscar Schmidt OU5, but I need to get a case for it as well since it will be my first concert uke. I found what looks like a great deal at http://www.themusicmotel.com/store/product.asp?pid=468&catid=477&vid=979 where they sell the uke and its case (http://www.themusicmotel.com/store/product.asp?pid=642&catid=477&vid=979 - the case is usually about $50 elsewhere) together for $166.
At the same time, if I were to purchase the uke and a different, more inexpensive--though seemingly still as good--case (either http://www.amazon.com/Lanikai-Hards...8&s=musical-instruments&qid=1254681916&sr=1-7 or http://www.amazon.com/Lanikai-Conce...ts&qid=1254681853&sr=8-6#moreAboutThisProduct) from Amazon, my total would come out to about $170; not much of a difference.
Long story short: Does anyone have any experience with either of the three cases? And then the second question would be whether or not themusicmotel.com is a reputable site, because, if it turns out to be sketchy, I'll just go to Amazon.
Thanks!
