I see Kamakas, Kanile'as, and other high end Ukes that have less expensive models, built without body binding. I do like the understated appearance, but I owned a mahogany Martin w/o binding, and the edges were susceptble to dings, that wouldn't have happened if it had binding, for a bumper.
Is Koa fairly resistant to these little edge dings, or do these Ukes require a player to be more careful when handling and playing it?
Are there any sonic benefits in a Uke w/o binding, or is it just a cost cutting measure?
Thanks
