Looking for a Concert Uke

SoundwaveUke · Dec 27, 2008

So I've been playing for about a year and a half. I play casually, not everyday...but lately I've been really getting more into it. Right now, I pretty much have a toy. It's a $40 LeoLani black laquered Soprano Uke. It's tinny and horrible to tune. I need something better. I'm looking for a reliable half-way-decent sounding concert uke preferably under $90. Have one? Find one? Let me know of one? Please?

i played a samick uk-60 for a while.
you can usually find it for under $70
it's a (maple?) laminate with geared tuners. not bad sounding for a cheap uke.
spend an extra $10 on some good strings and you'll have a very playable little concert uke for pretty cheap.

for slightly more coin, you can get a Makala Concert

its a bit more expensive but MGM will become your best friend, and your worst enemy...

$95.00 Makala concert with gig bag and upgraded strings. New and can be yours!

In this price section Ukes from 'Hawaiian Ukulele Company' can be recommended.
They are pretty affordable for beginners. But I do not know, if you can order one online. Because their online store is crap:

I own a soprano, but I bought it locally. I think you get a concert for about 70-80 bucks.

You'll get much more for your money if you can find something secondhand. Obviously local is better but there's always the market place here or eBay if you're careful.
