I know. These questions get asked all the time, but really... they are all specific to the player. So I've got just two ukuleles I'm considering buying. I will be ordering them online. I've heard them both played but no local shops have the specific brands available. I'm counting on someone here who has played both of these models to answer the question. The two models being considered are:
Kiwaya Eco Series (any model, these are all ultra-thin laminates)
vs. Keli'i - Soprano Silver Series Mahogany
The fact that one is solid wood and the other laminate is irrelevant. The fact that one is slightly higher than the other is irrelevant. The fact that one is Japanese and the other Hawaiin is irrelevant. I don't even care about the sound. They both sound good for my tastes. The only thing i care about is the playability. So if anyone out there has played both of these and cares to comment (only on playability) I'm listening.
