Hello everyone,
I have been playing for about 6 mo now on a cheap beginner uke and want to go up a step and purchase a new uke. I've read so many reviews etc and it seems to only make me more confused sometimes. Here is what I want/have; I want a tenor sized solid wood uke and I have up to $350 to spend. I've been looking at the Pono acacia and mahoghany models that fall in that price range(just a few), the new islander solid maoghany and the Kala models. From those of you who have been playing a long time and have different brands/models, what kind of questions should I be asking myself? Do UU players have any clear preferences of these uke? This purchase is gonna have to last me quite awhile so I want to get something I will be happy with.
Thanks for any input you can give me. I've been reading these forums for awhile but this is my first post. I've really enjoyed the tone of the members and the willingness everyone seems to have to help each other.
