My high school aged nephew (an OK guitar player) was really intrigued by my ukulele the last time he saw it. Interestingly, he noted that he's been seeing ukes popping up at his school over the last year (suburban Chicago).
He's graduating early this year, and thought I get him a uke to celebrate.
The max, I'd like to spend is $100 ... any suggestions please?
I'd like it to be concert size. At this price point, most likely laminate.
I actually think a laminate is a great starter, because they seem less suseptible to temp/humidity changes. If he sticks with playing, he can always upgrade and keep this one as a travel/beater uke.
Right now, I'm leaning toward the Kala KA C mahogony sold by MGM for just at my $ limit shipped. Is it a decent instrument? What else should I consider?
