Hey,
I'm not sure that this is the right place for this question, so if it needs to be moved, then mods, please do so.
I'm new to ukulele, although I've been playing music for pretty much my whole life. Anyway, my son and I are learning the ukulele together as a way to get him more interested in learning an instrument (he's nine). So we got ukes last weekend, and he ended up with that silly looking watermelon Kala. I realize that it's not the best, probably, for learning on, but if he'll play it, then I'm okay with it. If he really takes off on it, then he'll be wanting something else before long, and I'm okay with that too, as long as he's learning and staying engaged. It seems to stay in tune pretty well, and seems reasonably well set up, all in all.
For myself, I bought a Lanikai MAS-T all mahogany tenor (https://lanikaiukuleles.com/product/solid-mahogany-tenor-ukulele/), and was wondering what people thought of that one. I haven't read any reviews to speak of on them, but it seems to have pretty good intonation, stays in tune well, and has a nice tone.
Any thoughts that you've got on either of these ukes would be appreciated, especially the Lanikai. As for the Kala, like I said, if I can keep him interested and learning, then the watermelon is great as long as he's playing it.
Thanks for your time and all of the great info I'm finding here.
