Hi All! Very glad for this forum. My Wife and I are planning to purchase Ukes in the near future. After researching and getting a chance to play around with a few, we had pretty much decided on a couple of the Kala acacias from MGM (really like the sound, and they're beautiful). However... after reading about the splitting issues with solid woods, I'm having doubts. One of the main things I'd like to be able to do is grab the Uke and go sit out on the deck and play (we're in Northeast Indiana). I really wished I already had it today, it was beautiful out. We keep the house air conditioned in the summer and have gas forced air heat, so the place is pretty much always dry. So, the questions are...
Anyway, this is a lot of questions, and I would really appreciate any help you folks can give. We can't wait to get started
Thank You!
Paul Q
- Is there a % humidity level or amount of differential where this is an issue?
- Do I really need to worry about it here?
- Are different woods more prone to splitting?
- I was looking at Mainland Ukes since He's in pretty much the same climate are His ok?
- Anyone have any experience with the Kala acacias or Mainlands with splitting.
- Is the mellow, quieter tone available in laminates?
- Does the case humidifier really cure all these issues and what if you forget to add water?
