Hi-
Need help trying to chose beginner concert uke for 14 year old son. He plays guitar, but has become very interested in the uke, for sound, ease of play, and portability.
I'm down to making a choice at the local GC between a Lanikai LU22c (I guess it's GC's version of the LU21c) an a Cordoba 15cm. The Lanikai has some sharpness (painwise) to the fret ends as you slide around on the neck, but does have sealed tuners, whereas the Cordoba doesn't have the fret problem, but has open tuners.
Price is a wash, but can anybody share experiences with either of these two -- especially whether the Lanikai fret issue is common or a big deal -- to help me out?
Thanks
Frank
