Hi,
I came across an almost brand new pre-owned PONO full solid mahogany soprano uku and a KIWAYA KSU-1L soprano long neck uku. They both have similar satin finish. Both cost about the same.
The PONO deal seems good price for a solid uku and its reputable brand. However read the neck is bit beefier. (I love my koaloha's concert neck. Find ny kanilea concert neck too thin to play. But i am only 1 uku year old. So not sure about my own judgement. Play sing-along and strum as well as finger picking) And read that PONO soprano tend to be quieter.
The Kiwaya model has good review from gotaukulele. Also learn their overall quaility are generally good.
I am not particular whether it's solid or laminate. Looking for a soprano with nice tone, sustain and good playability that I'd enjoy to play. I am not able to try any of them as they are selling online abroad. What would u recommend? Thanks!
