Haven't posted in several months, but I've still been uke'ing. I've had my little soprano banjo uke this whole time until last week. I moved to FL at the end of April, but my family stayed behind in Phoenix until next Summer. Went home for 10 days at the end of July and had nothing to play, so I bought a very cheap $30 uke from guitar center to get me by. Overall, the sound was actually pretty good with some Aquilas on it, but I could see where the frets were not put in the places marked for the frets and so as I moved up the neck, the pitch was more and more sharp. What that did though was make me want a non-banjo uke.
Got back to FL last week and bought a Lanikai concert uke and I love it. Some songs simply don't sound as good on the banjo-uke and are much better represented on a regular style one.
So, I've acquired 2 new ukes in the last couple weeks. A crappy soprano that's out of pitch when fretted higher than the 3rd fret, and a new concert uke.
