Any uke, what would you buy?

mangorockfish · Mar 20, 2010

What kind of uke would you buy if you could buy any uke out there? The catch is, it has to be available to the public, from any store that would normally stock it. You can order it if they are sold out or don't have that particular modle in stock. No cusoms, please.

Ko'olau style 1 in mahogany (just got one in ulawood, very balanced, resonant, musical, appears to have no flaws in concept, design or craftsmanship)

All other brands I've tried have been disappointing in some way, but these guys know how to make ukes...

Just got mine in December my S&J Milo wood super concert pineapple.

Can it be a uke you already own?

Well I already got mine, the new Risa Les Paul tenor in Black!
(the black one in my sig)

A simple but elegant Kamaka tenor

I would love a "Le Noir" by Pete Howlett. Oops, no customs. I still want one really bad.

sukie · Mar 20, 2010

I have a KoAloha. I don't really need another ukulele. The only ukulele I'm drooling over and NEED is a Moore Bettah. It's a custom -- sorry.

flea_bitten · Mar 20, 2010

If I could have any uke in the world I would choose a Republic resophonic like the one Aaron Keim uses when he plays Greasy Coat. Now I don't seriously think the uke would make me able to play like that but its fun to dream and the uke really is cool. I love the scruffy finish.

UkuLeLesReggAe · Mar 20, 2010

Aldrine's.

Simple.

franulele · Mar 20, 2010

Kiwaya KTT-1 Mahogany Tenor,

if not, then a Kepasa or Talsma will have to suffice.

Ukulele Dude · Mar 20, 2010

I would probably get this Collings tenor that is currently in stock at Acoustic Vibes in Tempe.

haole · Mar 20, 2010

Does the Pineapple Sunday count as a custom? What about the Moore Bettah "Not-So-Basic" concert?

Maybe a Kamaka pineapple or a batik Fluke.

Kanaka916 · Mar 20, 2010

In no particular order; Kamaka HF-3, Ko'olau T-100, KoAloha KTM-00, Kanile'a K2 Super Tenor. Customs will have to be another thread.

byjimini · Mar 20, 2010

A mango Mainland Soprano.

wickedwahine11 · Mar 20, 2010

Probably a KoAloha Sceptre. If we had been allowed a custom, it would be a Moore Bettah...

......Oh and mine would be a KAMAKA OHTA-SAN MODEL CONCERT. I've never played one though so its a gamble 'what would you buy'.

Melissa82 · Mar 20, 2010

A simple koa tenor koaloha.

Any uke, what would you buy?
