I need help. Long time (over 35 years) guitar player just discoverd true love and fun with ukulele.
I have a Lanikai Curly Concert and I built a laminate kit soprano. The concert sounds great, the soprano is more FUN!
I'm bent on getting a soprano koa Hawaiian uke, and I've narrowed my search to just a couple, here's where I need help:
My budget it $500, would you get a NEW Koaloha Soprano ($500), or find an equivalent priced Kamaka...???? (There are vintage/older white labels in about the same range...)
I like darker (curly) Koa, but when it gets really fancy (Kanilea, etc) the price gets way out of my range.
Suggestions? I need a Ukulele Mentor!
Thanks, I'm all ears,
Scott
