First off, hello! My name is Adam and I'll be buying my first ukulele pretty soon. I've taken my friends' ukes and I learned to play relatively well, and I know for a fact I already have quite a passion for it, as I have fallen flat on my face already learning guitar and piano(cursed giant's hands), therefore the uke has proven to be the instrument for me!
Problem is; I'm on a budget. A tiny one. As it stands, I can only afford about $25-35 for a uke right now, In the future I can afford upgrades, but I'll be moving soon (I live in Europe, and I'll be heading to Oregon for university this coming summer). This presents me with a few options, but I'm not sure which is the best bet for right now.
OPTION 1(ONE)
The Diamond head cheap thing
initially, then some time down the road I would purchase some nice strings for it, as I bought some Aquila strings for my friend's uke, and straightened that cheap POS up.
and the obvious
OPTION 2(TWO)
I could buy a proper beginner ukulele in a few months, in the $50 price range such as this or this
Please, please help me out, do you guys know of any ukes in this price range which you swear by?
Do you know of strings that can revitalize any uke?
Tips to make a cheap uke play like a pro?
Maybe even a used ukulele?
Anything helps!
