I have read a lot about how laminated ukes are more durable because it can withstand dramatic weather changes etc. better than all solid ukes.
Would a solid-top/ laminated back and sides uke somewhere in between the two in terms of durability? Or is it worse because you've got a solid surface attached to a laminated one and they expand/contract at different rates.
I am toying with the idea of getting a Kala solid spruce top travel uke. They have the flaming maple (laminated) back and sides version. Would they actually be more suitable for travelling/ camping than the solid mahogany or lacewood back & sides versions?
Thanks
