My first ukulele was bought from a mom and pop music store two years ago ago and it is an Oscar Schmidt OU3. The owner who sold it to me said that it had a solid spruce top, which will allow the sound to improve a little over time. he also told me it was a tenor ukulele when I looked it up online and learned that it was a concert.
Today I returned to the exact store to find a larger selection of ukes than previous. I played some more Oscar Schmidt ukes, spalted mango and koa, and picked up a phamplet about the Brandt's ukes. It said my model was 'select spruce'. What does that mean? I've noticed a lot of companies describe wood as 'select'. Was the owner correct about it being a solid instrument?
Any info would be great, thanks!
