these are the two lines that led me to question his tone. "other goof-ball alternative", "can't afford spending $100", "go look at another board", "see how many 'friends' you can inspire"?
i have my reasons for going online -- namely a possible switch to geared tuners and tweaking the action that my local or I can not do (the price was equivalent if nothing needed to be changed). In order to make that decision I tried multiple versions of the same `ukulele. My local was fine with me buying elsewhere, so I don't understand the comments above.
and both `ukulele above are worth more than $100, supporting a company whose owner helped me with a problem on another `ukulele (again over $100), so where does this go to another board non-sense arise from? maybe I should go to another board, because if the requirement to being "inspirational" or having a "basic/decent ukulele" on this board is $100, i'll go elsewhere. I came here looking for kokua and mana`o from people (via lurking) who seemed friendly and knowledgeable. nothing i've typed was a step out of being humble. btw I suck at the `ukulele and freely admit to it, so I see no necessity in blowing choke dineros on something I might get too frustrated in.
i'm probably blowing this way out of proportion and over reading into it. But I'm getting more mad reading his FAIL at being zen-ish. I asked a simple question -- rosewood vs mahogany? There's better and more subtle ways of saying go to a brick and mortar to try it out.
