i like the pineapple from mainland
I have a mango pineapple from Mainland that I love.
For that price, get the Kamoa. Uke Republic has been trying to get some in.

Here's one in stock and you won't beat the price unless you find a used one:

The Kamoas are laminate, the Mainlands are solid if that makes a difference. I have a Mainland cedar/rosewood and love it but its a bit more than $160. Their solid mahogany pineapple is around $180 while the solid mahogany Ohana Pineapple comes in at around $150.
I have an Ohana solid mahogany pineapple. It has the "crown" head, friction tuners (which you want) and has a very nice sound, plays easily, etc. I am not that experienced, but would recommend it - for approx. $150 seems like a good buy (I got mine used). Good luck with the search.

I've seen new Ohana pineapples for as low as $123. Those are nice ukuleles.
Be patient, look around, and find a nice, solid uke for your money. (Or save a few bucks and get the Kamoa. They're nice, too.)

I have the Ohana PK-25G, got it from Mike at Uke Republic. Sounds great and looks cool. I really like the crown headstock, high gloss and the way the fret board ends. I would definitely recommend it.
Yeah, but that Kamoa "laminate" sounds amazing and can be had fr $109 with free shipping.
PS: If you have the money, look at the Mele Concert pineapple!
