I posted the other day in the Introduction area, so there are more particulars in that post. Specifically, I am a beginner. I have played the guitar for years, but age and arthritis have taken their toll on my fingers. I can't handle the wire strings any more, and six of them are just too many. I'm thinking a baritone uke would suit me just fine. Gentle nylon strings and less of them, but with no new chords to learn. This is an experiment that I hope will work out, but I want to ease in gently; I can always upgrade if the experiment is a success.
Dose anyone have any experience with these specific instruments...
1.) Kohala KP-B Kanikapila
2.) Makai BK-55
3.) Makala MK-B
4.) Lanikai KP-B Knaikapila
I've heard the Makala on You-Tube and it sounds fine, but someone at a big on-line store told me it was junk. I've not heard the others. everybody who has a Makala loves it. I've read as many reviews for all three as I can get my hand on and all I'm doing now is confusing myself. Point is I will probably buy one of the three, but most likely it will be a "sight unseen" purchase; there are no uke sellers anywhere near me and now uke players that I know of in the area either. Of the three, which one would most likely please me ???
Thank you for your help...
