Hi Ukulele Underground
I have been playing the uke since January of this year. I like to think that I'm a pretty decent player. I'm currently playing a KA-CE, and have been thinking of upgrading to a mid range solid wood tenor, just waiting for the Kala Acacia Tenor to arrive at my local uke store.
However, I recently played a Kamaka Tenor, and I was wondering: Should I just skip the mid range ukes and just go straight to the high end ones? I know that I will eventually own a Kamaka Tenor, and knowing the shortage of Koa wood, along with the demand for ukuleles, the price of the Kamak will rise and rise. I am afraid that I will not be able to do the Kamaka justice.
What do you guys think? Should I build up to that level first? Or just go for it now? Any kind of help will do thanks!
