Hi everyone
Need some advice. I'm a newby on the uke (I play guitar) and after buying my 3 year old a Mahalo for Xmas I am hooked!
After some screw-ups buying an Ohana online the shop is offering me a great deal on an Ohana CK-50GS. At $200 including shipping this seems a great deal for a solid rosewood back and sides, cedar top uke.
However, I have my eyes on a used Pono MT mahogany which I can pick up for an extra $95.
I haven't had the chance to try either of them (I'm sure that would be wise but... too bad I guess)
I'm looking for a mellow uke sound that is easy to play. I don't care for bling (the Ohana has some) but do care about tone. I think a tenor would suit me better in the long run but that's not a make or break part of it.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
Mike
