First off, thank you for reading this! I bet there are many threads like this on this website, but I wanted to personalize my own
A few months ago I started hunting for my first ukulele with a $100-$150 budget and starter laminate concert Ukulele in mind. I had it narrowed it down to Kala KA-C, Luna Tatto Concert and the Kamoa E-C, but recently I came across the Koa Pili Koko Solid Acacia (online) for $200 and my heart was set Until I also saw a Koloa Solid Mahogany (also online) for also around $200
Mahogany and Acacia solids. Which one is better? Or are they both fine and it depends on personal preference? Can someone describe the tone of each to me? (I have no way to access either of them without purchase and I'm not sure youtube videos are always accurate...) I was pretty shocked to find solid woods under $250...even more shocked under $200 (the Kaloa). Are they too good to be true? (obviously I'm not expecting them to sound like a $500 Uke, though..haha~)
Also I'd love suggestions on other solid wood concerts $200 or under (doesn't have to be mahogany or acacia). Now that I know it's possible (or want it to be), I can be hopeful that there are others, right? Or maybe that would make my decision harder if there were...?? haha <3
Thank you!!
