Looking for a new uke?

Hey guys, I've been playing ukulele for a few years but recently stopped playing. I have a Kala limited edition Soprano Butterfly but upon watching http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qadUoaWkRW8 I decided it was time to get back into ukulele. I'm looking for something under 300, thanks for your time!

Any particular scale? Solid wood or laminate? Since you have a Kala soprano butterfly, what do you want to be different than that in your next ukulele? It'll be easier to help you with your question if you can be more specific about your wants and needs.

For solid wood i suggest ohana for a mellow sound and for a bright sound you could always get a spruce top. I remember seeing lots of spruce tops under 300 when i was looking for a nee uke

I would like either Soprano or Concert. And probably laminate though it depends on the model.

Aloha tradyghompson!
Welcome to the Ukulele Underground and welcome back to the ukulele! Kanile'a's Islander models have solid mahogany ukuleles that are in your price range. You can check them out at HMS. Hope this helps you to narrow your choices down a bit.
