I am getting a low end uke in the next couple of weeks. I want to get one setup low G. I am torn between a Lanikai LU-21T and a Makai MT-70. So you choose.
The Makai has a solid spruce top - I think the Lanikai is all laminate.
Very likely to get a better overall sound from the the Makai - But I've never played one. No idea about the fit, finish, or intonation.
I know this is not a choice. I would pick the Makai I think.
DOes anyone know if this one is decent?

I own an OU-6! It was actually my first ukulele. I got it as a factory second (slight blemish on the finish), but for what I paid for, it sounded great. It's pretty mellow, as far as laminates go. You won't be blown over, but you won't be disappointed with it (at least, you shouldn't), either. I'd just stay away from the smaller Oscar Schmidts (my soprano is kind of "meh-just-gets-the-job-done-could-be-a-lot-better"). The tenor isn't too bad at all.
Looks like it's Makai!
Take the Makai and get it from MGM. You will love it!!
MT-70. My affinity for solid top guitars spills over to the uke as well.
