Been lurking for a bit and thought it was time to say hello and thank everyone for a lot of valuable information
I'm another guitar convert .... I mean I already know the fingering for the chords so this is a natural - I love the sound of nylon strings and a uke is so much more fun than a classical guitar - I also have a preference for Goodall guitars and that guy has the market cornered on Koa guitars so ..... a Koa uke is another natural - I feel I was destined to make the move
Now trying to demo a uke is not an easy process .... been six months and a lot of Saturdays driving all over the state - What a learning process
I tried the soprano and concerts ... to small for my hands - I've ruled out the fricton style violin tunners .... the guitar style are just more familiar - Played about 20 brands and the variation in build quality was "enlightening" - Definately see the advantage of having a uke that stays in tune - LOL
My sights are set on a used Kamaka Tenor Ukulele - I'm not so much interested in a vintage instrument - Modern technology has a lot of benefits so a recent model is fine
Any pointers where to look would be appreciated
For anyone interested here is the Big Koa that will be keeping the uke company
