Hey guys!
I am at NAMM!
L-O-V-I-N-G IT!!!
Immersed in music and instruments! It did lead to a roaring migrane today (SENSORY OVERLOAD and forgot to eat lunch... stupid me... and caused me to miss my John Sebastian show I was going to tonight... sigh)
Back to the point:
Checking out lots and lots of ukuleles and the options are endless!
Found a great resonator uke to carry and a affordable banjolele... woot woot!
Looking at a bunch of models. I would like to have some good variety. It is VERY loud in there and it is hard for me to hear tone. So, I am wondering if you guys have any opinions, experience with, or pre-judices (good and bad, even hear-say) about some of these different brands of Ukuleles that I am thinking about...
Koloa - my impression... pretty pretty... quality construction... could not hear them play... bass playing on one side, drums on the other
Riptide by Boulder Breek - Different and Unique, but would you be tempted to buy one (not saying you have to buy one, but if you saw one would you be intrigued?)

Morgon Monroe Banjoleles - Seem like an affordable alternative, a lower price point, not the flamed wood, but affordable
Makai
Cordoba
Recording King Resonator Ukuleles - Ok... fancy, tempting. Same problem as the Koloa... loud... you can get the shiny or matte finish. I think the matte is great for those who leave fingerprints. Like me!
Thanks for letting my pick your brain. I knew the best research I could do is here since I do not have much time to scour the internet for reviews (I have limited internet and a packed schedule)
The comments can even be as simple as "Heard such and such sucks/is great/sounds good"
I would have done my homework more if I had known the amount of ukes I would run into. It is overwhelming... maybe not so much tomorrow though now that I have BC headache powders. Caffine and asprin... ahhh!!!
I also have been able to see Eleukes, Eleukes, and More Eleukes! I took pictures... I will do a thread about it soon!
