I am now the proud owner of a Pono AT Ukulele. All I have to do now is learn how to play it, easy right?
This is my first Ukulele and my first instrument. I went with more of an upgraded uke instead of a starter, so I could grow into it as I learned and not have to buy another one so quickly. I think having such a nice uke will keep me motivated to practice as well.
Actually I got it a couple of days ago and got started practicing with a few easier chords to start with, the 3 chords C, F, and G and a finger picking exercise. I know it's only been a couple of days but I seem to be picking up the finger picking much easier than the fret hand chords. Must have been all those years of air guitar, it's not like you can air guitar fret chord positions...lol. I have small hands and short fingers so I can see it's gonna take a lot of practice on that fret hand.
I have to say it's a beautiful uke, it sounds incredible and the fit and finish is flawless. I'm glad I went with the satin finish too, it gives it a nice natural, woody feel and look to it. It's really well balanced and not top heavy at the headstock at all. It just really feels good in my hands, and you can just tell it's a quality instrument. I got a really nice O'ahu hard case with the uke at no charge because the website mistakenly advertised it priced with a hard case. They caught it but honored the ad anyway, which was nice.
Anyway, here are some pictures, I know everyone always wants pictures.
