Hi Everyone -
I have a buttload of questions, but in order to save some forum space, I am going to to post all of them here. In no particular order:
1) Does anyone have a beat on the Kala KA-K8E? I looked for reviews on this site, UkeHunt, and google, and came up with nothing. Bonus points for info on the KA-K6E as well.
(Edit - link: http://www.ukeladymusic.com/kala-koa-series.html)
Edit - Is this thing solid koa? Shouldn't it be more expensive?
2) What are some reasonably priced (less than $400) 8 stringers? I've got UAS bad, but I want to get something of high quality. Speaking of quality instruments at a fair price, has Mainland ever made a 6 / 8 string uke?
3) Why even use a 6 or 8 string in the first place?! What is a 6 or 8 string good for that a 4 can't do? I mean it seems an 8 might produce a more "jangly" or "full-bodied" effect...but realistically, be limited more to strumming (on 12 string guitars, I've found it hard to pick apart different octave'd strings).
4) Uke + Kazoo..great combination, or the greatest combination?
Sorry about the semi-random stream of consciousness. Hopefully at least one other person can figure out what the heck I'm talking about...
