Here was my brief intro thread for some general background:
http://www.ukuleleunderground.com/forum/showthread.php?64199-Hello-from-St-Louis
Anyway, I got the Lanikai LU-11 (soprano) and Lanikai LU-21T (tenor). Both arrived yesterday.
I won't go too much into review territory since this is the Uke Talk board, but I will say that both came with a good out of the box setup and sound awesome. I'd definitely recommend either of these Ukes to a new player such as myself.
Anyway, I just can't believe how happy playing them made me feel. Chords are coming quickly due to my experience with guitar.
Now I just can't decide which one I like better. One of them is supposed to be for my daughter anyway. Originally I figured she would want the tenor, but I think she's leaning towards the soprano so far. Maybe the soprano will be easier for her to learn on - I don't know, I haven't gotten that far yet.
As the title says, I am blown away. I don't think I ever felt this great playing guitar. The soft sound and strings really are a winning combo for my ears and fingers. I was smiling the whole time I was playing new chords and simple songs.
It's pretty hard to go to sleep when all you want to do is get out of bed and play some more.
