I am new to music and instruments, only recently (2 months ago) deciding to learn to play the Ukulele. I currently own a Pono AT and as far as I can see it is flawless. The first uke I went with was unacceptably flawed and returned, which led to the Pono, in hindsight it worked out since I love the Pono.
What does everyone expect in a uke? What can be expected from a $300 Mainland or Ohana? What should be expected from $500 to $800 Pono or equivelant uke? When you enter into the $1,000 range of a custom or the "K" brands, do you still see minor finish flaws?
I'm not overly "picky" and can certainly live with some minor finish flaws, but just wondering what to really expect in instruments.
