Friends:
After my experience playing a concert yesterday, I think I need to start thinking about adding one to the fleet. I emailed MGM with these questions, but would like to also present them to you:
Here's what I'm looking for in a Concert:
1. Easy Action
2. Mellow Tone
3. Good Intonation
4. Solid wood
5. Nicely built
6. Out the door with case for <$300
In other words, it doesn't have to be fancy, just sweet. I have my eye on these two:
OHANA-35GS
http://cgi.ebay.com/Ohana-CONCERT-s...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item4cecc3d816
or
KALA-KA smhc
http://cgi.ebay.com/Kala-ka-SMHC-SO...emQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3a563e4a08
I'm assuming both are close in quality. Can you comment on what the extra money on the Ohana buys me, and any difference in tone?
I'm also adding this to the list of possbilities, although I'm not sure if I can stay below $300 with a case and shipping:
MAINLAND
http://shop.mainlandukuleles.com/product.sc?productId=9&categoryId=3
Since both MGM and Mainland offer equally good set up and service, try and concentrate on the actual instruments. (Isn't it nice that we don't need to worry about being taken care of? We are lucky duckies!)
Compare and contrast, please.
and...
Thank You! :bowdown:
