I was at the store and tried a Lanikai O-6E and really fell in love with it. The string tuning was almost the opposite of a normal ukulele and it gave the standard chord voicings a really fresh sound. The mix of string types also sounded great. I was nice to have a string to anchor bass lines with.
Of course, first impressions can be misguided. My two concerns are:
- If I'm going to buy a 6-string like this, is there a brand/model that's similar but better?
- The tuning is so different, I'm a little worried that it'll ruin my playing on other ukuleles
Any thoughts?
