Hi guys,
I've been thinking a lot about upgrading to the next level of ukulele from where I am at the moment. You can see in my signature - but I mostly play Mainlands and my Islander MSS4. I was thinking of going up to the £300 or $400-500 range.
Are there any recommendations? The sound I really like the most is a soft/warm mahogany sound. My Islander has that nice warm sound to it and is the ukulele I've ended up playing non-stop.
The kind of thing I've been considering is a Pono, or the lower end of Big Island or Martin.
Any ideas really would be gratefully received. Thanks so much.
Matt
PS. I'm new to posting on the forum, but I've been enjoying it for ages. I've especially loved the 'What your uke means to you' thread. Really heartwarming. I live in London and play ukulele in a band called A Fine Day for Sailing.
