My daughter has started taking ukulele lessons and is loving them. I will typically play the song and then she will. She has a Kala 15. I played guitar for a long time and am really enjoying it.
We've been doing it for a while and seems like it is sticking. So I'd like to get a uke to play with her and maybe give it to her as her step up later.
Budget $400. I am interested in a nice sweet sounding instrument. Don't care about brand name or place of manufacture - if it sounds good and is well made, I am good. I've had amazing luck with Chinese made violins and guitars that were clearly better than the known brands.
Used is preferred if there is one that gets me into a better class of uke than I would have otherwise. Looked through the classifieds here and sales on eBay and reverb, but my typical approach of looking for the ridiculous deal on a used one doesn't work as well since I am less familiar with uke brands and the number of makers is quite large.
New, I've been eyeing a new Pono Mahogany at the Hawaiian TUS shop with setup. Mainlands seem to get a good rep for value for money as well. The review of the Anuenue Moon makes me wonder about their lower end models.
