So my first niece was just born about a month and a half ago and my second one is going to be born at the end of January (not from the same mother ) They are both girls and I am going to be pressing music on them a much as possible. I want to get (at least one of them) a cheap "toy" ukulele to have in their room. It will pose as a decoration for a while, I'm sure, but eventually I'd like for them to be able to bang around on it. I also want to have it so that I always have a uke to play for them when I go visit, instead of lugging mine around everywhere.
I found a $15 toy uke on the Ron Jon surfshop website, was wondering if it was playable or not. It seems like exactly what I'm going for but I dont want to spend the $15 on pure crap. If it is playable then that should be all I need. Maybe toss some Aquilas on it and away we go.
Anyway, I was wondering if anybody had played around on one of these or if someone that lives near a Ron Jon would be able to swing in and give them a strum. I used to live in Orlando so I would certainly go myself but now that I live in Phoenix, a surf shop is a bit harder to come by and certainly no Ron Jon within a 100 miles (Though Ron Jon is essentially an over-priced, tourist botique, IMO)
Anyway, here's a link to the website with uke and if you have any other suggestions for ukes in that price range please drop em on me. I think cheap plastic ones would be best since they will eventually go through a "BANGING" stage. Want them to last as long as possible.
Thanks guys!!
And oh yea, check out the ukulele keychains at the bottom of the page...pretty cool. Just may have to order when for myself
