I bought a new uke today; I got a Makala MK-SS/YLW. It's the first new ukulele I've brought home in a few years. Not that I haven't been digging the uke, I just hadn't been hit with UAS for a while. It hit me hard this week and I've got a couple of others on the way that I snagged on Ebay.
This one was a local pick from the music store and I wanted something that I could take to work to let a coworker use who has been showing interest in taking up uke. She's a real sweetheart and I've taken a shine to helping her get started.
I tried several at the local music store and chose the one with the best projection and intonation up the fretboard. I've got some Aquila strings on hand but will leave the stock ones on for now. I'm going to try something a bit different when I do the string change to make the uke more versatile but need to order some supplies to do it first.
Here's a shot of the new one. I dig the retro matte color…
