Aloha everyone, I just moved to Oahu a few months ago and ever since I touched down in Hawaii I've been pretty fascinated by Ukuleles and their sound.
I work right above a music shop, Good Guys Music (on Kapahulu, a mile or so from Waikiki) and stopped in after work today to look at their selection of Ukes. I think I'm in the market for a Concert from the various reading I've been doing. I held a few at the store and I think the size is right.
The recommended Uke from the store was a Kala brand concert Ukulele for $85 and another $14 for a soft case. The gentleman at the store gave me a nice tour of the Uke, the tuning pegs seemed solid, and for a starter Uke it seemed nice and the sound was pleasant.
Decent deal or can I do better on the Island?
Is going through Craigslist a decent option or should I be wary of used Ukes?
Thanks!
