Ok so i got my first ukulele, one Lanikai LU-21 Concert, just to see if i would like the instrument and want to take it up after guitar from age 16 to now 32. I'm hooked!
I will keep the Lanikai (unless i go for Uke 5) as a take everywhere Uke.
So, the options.
1- The Kala KA-SMHC concert all solid mahogany. First choice based on price and reviews.
2- The Kala KA-ASACC concert all solid Acacia, reason same as above.
3- The Pono Deluxe mahogany concert. Again based on reviews and videos.
4- The Pono MHC pro classic mahogany. A step up in finish from above + ebony fingerboard etc. This one starts to stretch the budget but is possible.
5- The Kanile'a K1. For this one due to the stretch i would have to wait till the middle/end of next month and possibly have to sell the Lanikai. I think at my stage of playing this may be a bit much and i maybe need to know what i like from a uke before splashing this amount out. Kind of like i did with the guitar, a progressive move up in quality.
I can't get to try them as the shop is a 1200 mile round trip .
Thanks in advance.
