Hi All,
Old Guitar player, relatively new Uke player here. I have a Kamaka HF3 Tenor and am waiting for a Mya-Moe Tenor to be built...However I do a lot of camping in a wide variety of climates from the wet rainy Pacific Northwest Coastline to the High Desert in Eastern Oregon where temp can vary in one day from freezing at night to the mid 90's (F) during the day and it is very dry, to the Southwest USA...With all of that and some of the potential perils of camping I am looking for a decent quality laminated Uke as I think (from what I have read) that it should be much more tolerant of those types of climate variations. I am willing to spend about $250-$300 or so if needed. I am interested in good quality sound in a Tenor size. I have access to try a Lanikai, an Oscar Schmidt and I think a Fender, but that is about it. What other types should I be looking at? Any specific recommendations for a Tenor size uke (even in the Brands I can try)?
Any help, including reference to old threads is gratefully accepted!
Thanks!
