Aloha!
I picked up my first Ukulele a few days ago! I just moved to Hawaii, and if you read my introduction thread, you've heard most of this, but I'll give a quick re-cap and jump to the photos!
I purchased this Ukulele for $80. It has no branding on it at all. My assumption is that it's a standard Chinese Ukulele, but not a super cheap Waikiki Uke. The owner of the store played it for me along side a Kala Concert which was $10 or so more. He played softly, loudly, various chord progressions, and strumming styles and I ended up really liking this model over the Kala! It has more wood to it so there's some more heft and the neck is a little wider which I think has made it easier for my larger hands.
Can anyone identify the make or model? And am I correct that it's a Concert? Anyway, I'd love to hear from some seasoned Ukuleleists on my purchase. I'd love to hear any pros, cons, adjustments, maintenance/care tips or just general comments.
So here we go with the photos!
