I am looking for a new instrument. I have been playing on a oscar schmit and it is time to move up. The oscar schmit sound is dull and the intonation was lacking. I have changed the string to Aquila and that offered a little improvement. I built my own compensating nut for it to fix some of the intonation problems.
I have played the Kamaka at a local dealer and find it to be a fine instrument with good sound and intonation.
I really like the look of the Pono and the idea of a truss rod. I have not had the opportunity to play one and am concerned about how the intonation is on these instruments.
I have been looking at as many videos as I can but as you know it is hard to tell.
If you have some first hand knowlege of both these instruments and would like to voice your opinion please chime in. If you would like to talk privetly you can reach me at dbarr15@aol.com Thanks Doug
