Hello all,
I was just thinking about all of the many options there are for ukuleles these days both laminates and solids. It seems that in some ways some of the old Chicago ukuleles represent a rather good deal if you want to get a solid wood ukulele (often birch). They aren't the greatest ukuleles as a whole but with a good set up they can sound pretty decent and there is the rare gem find that sounds very good. You can often find them for less than $100. With that being said though what are some of the cheapest priced solid ukuleles around today? The Islander solid soprano seems pretty cheap at $220 from Hawaii Music Supply. Mainland has solid sopranos for about $190. Can you get a new solid wood ukulele for less than $190? I'm not really in the market or anything (I just got a Martin S1 and I am very happy with it) just sort of wondering if you can get one for less.
Thanks for reading,
