Recently I had the opportunity to play a laminate Islander and was underwhelmed. Not because it was bad, but because IMO it just did not live up to all the positive things posted about it. IMO I'd put it on the same level as a Kala laminate for sound, and below it for fit-n-finish.
Since then I've read posts about these ukes a bit closer and have noticed a lot of the praise is coming from people who have never played one, and are going off it's big brother's reputation. Additionally, I've been picking up on more complaints to do with how they are finished.
Are these ukes just the forum favorite du jour, or will they actually have staying power?
