I am sure many of you have had the same experience as I had, but thought I would share mine anyways.
I have spent about 6 weeks online listening to prospective ukes on youtube and such, but the sound quality of the instruments seems to be much different in person. Perhaps it is due to low quality earphones or other limitations. Anyhow, I was CERTAIN I knew what I wanted when a visit to a local shop totally changed my mind on what I am going to buy next week(and from whom.) The resonance of the instruments were what I found different from the videos. They both roughly sounded comparable online but the difference really shined in person.
The local shop was even kind enough to offer to put a hold on that particular instrument for me (I really liked its grain pattern!) Being someone used to ordering online for years the services the local shop provided for me blew my mind. Even though I have to pay sales tax, I will be buying my Cordoba 15CM locally to support these good people.
Thanks for hearing me out.
