...but here I am now with my second ukulele already! My first was a Kala concert that I thought long and hard about and never would have felt confident buying without the information that I got here. I love that instrument and it sounds great and it's incredible how much better it makes me feel to sit down with that uke and play a few songs in the evening. It's good for the soul.
So good for the soul that I decided I need another ukulele for the office. Since I'm a college professor and our school's colors are black and orange, it seemed like a no-brainer to get an orange dolphin-bridge Makala.
It arrived this afternoon and at first I wasn't thrilled with the sound, but I replaced the strings it came with (I got a double-set of Worths when I bought the Kala.) and now it sounds fantastic! The soprano size is a bit of an adjustment, and the strings are still settling down, but for $40 (plus $5-ish for strings) this is a much finer instrument than I expected. Very excited to go to work tomorrow! Thanks UU forums for giving me a pleasant case of UAS!
