I would like to buy a ukulele for my husband. He is an archaeologist and works in the jungle (think rainy, sweaty, muddy, tropical) for weeks at a time. I think it would be nice for him to have a ukulele to play. He plays the guitar but can't take it with him. I would like to get him a decent concert or tenor ukulele, but I wonder if it would survive the conditions... Ideally, I would buy two - a nice one and a beater. Realistically, I can only afford one and my budget is only around $125. And I know it is anathema, but I would like to be able to get it from amazon as I have a gift certificate and free shipping.
Is there a decent sounding ukulele that will survive those conditions that is also in my budget?
