Hi, I am looking at getting a uke, but I need to know some things about Tenor vs. Concert. I'm pretty sure I don't want a soprano or baritone. For the record, I do play guitar, but that is sort of irrelevant, since I'm not worried about it being similar to guitar or something. I just kind of want to know what the general thought is on Concert versus Tenor (Number of frets, preference in tone, etc.), I'm not worried about one being larger and easier for me to play or anything. If anyone knows what type of uke Zach Condon from Beirut plays, that would be awesome to know as well.
I'm looking to spend up to $200. I sort of want a familiar brand of uke, not some near unheard of company or anything. Places to buy as well? I'm not looking for a beginner uke per say, I don't want to upgrade for a while, unless 200 dollars is not enough.
Lastly, if anyone could kind of give me a spiel on strings, that would be awesome. This is kind of demanding, but greatly appreciated.
EDIT: Looking at these:
Lanikai CK - T Tenor - Bit spendy, but doable.
Mitchell Concert Size 12-Fret Ukelele - Looks iffy to me.
Lanikai LU21C Concert Ukulele - Beginner?
Lanikai LU21T Tenor Ukulele
Or none of these?
