Does anyone here just play a Concert size Mahogany Ukulele? If so, what was your journey to arrive at that size choice and which model did you land on?
The reason I ask is that some years ago I bought a Kamaka Centennial Edition Concert from a local store as it sounded great in the store. However, after a few months of ownership and several string changes I realized it just didn't do anything for me so I sold it (for significantly less). I couldn't figure out whether it was the string tension, playing action or the sound of Koa which is quite different to my three other Ukuleles (1 Tenor and 2 Sopranos) which are Mahogany. Anyway, I am considering getting a Concert size but this time an all Mahogany ($500-$750 budget). Any recommendations from owners? Also be interested to hear from anyone who specifically doesn't like the Concert scale and why.
Thanks for any input.
