Has anyone here had any experience with Lehua 'ukuleles? If so, what sort of cohort would they be in? Are they similar to the K's, G-String, or Iwi'i, or are they more a 2nd-tier (for lack of a better word) name?
Actually, I happened to get a chance to try out a solid wood Lehua concert at a local music shop (no, not the one you're probably thinking), and I was very impressed.
Solid build, good look, nice balance, and it had a very full, complex tone. When I tried standard Lehua, Kala & Fender lams afterwards, they all sounded and felt, well ... how to be nice about it ... ummm ... cheap.
I wasn't expecting much from the Lehua, and the verdict is their lams are nothing at which to look twice, but the solids are better than you might expect.
