So I've been kind of considering getting a second uke for a while now. I currently have the flea, and I like it, but I kind of wanted to get something that had a more plucky, Hawaiian sound, and a more traditional look. Something I could go sit on the beach and play for the tourists in a cute little dress with a hibiscus blossom behind my ear (um, at Coney Island? Far Rockaway? Yeah, so the beach thing is just a fantasy) It's all crazy talk though because I clearly don't NEED another uke, and those are completely superficial reasons for wanting one!
But anyway, one issue with the flea has been that it's so loud, and my neighbor periodically pops by to annoy me, so there's no pretending I'm not home if I happen to be playing when he knocks on my door. I have resorted to playing on the bathroom floor with the door closed, but I bet he can still hear me. Not to mention, the tiles are cold...
Is there any uke that would satisfy all of these conditions? Pretty, plucky, and quiet? (like the perfect wife!) Under $200 hopefully.
I also kind of feel like the flea isn't real great for finger picking, since I can't seem to do this at all... Am I wrong? it could very well be me though!
