Hi! im new here and from the philippines. i wanted to purchase my first uke but i can't decide whether to get the makala mk-c or the hulala ho-II, both are concert size. the ukes are from two different but reputable uke shops. the makala is priced php3,488 (usd85) while the hulala is priced php4,000 (usd97). the hulala comes with gig bag and with aquilla strings while the makala is uke only with its black nylon string. i have seen and read many good reviews about the makala but not much of the hulala. is it because its still new in the market? does anybody here who is familiar or have used and played the hulala? which uke is better? there is a php500 difference between the two ukes. makala good reviews in the net vs hulala with aquilla and gig bag. which would you guys recomend? btw... makala is made of agathis while hulala is of mahogany but both are laminates.
