A few years back I picked up a secondhand uke for minimal cost and started fiddling with it but never really had the time to learn the thing as I was in grad school at the time.
I've since finished school and am now devoting more time to my uke. Currently I'm working through Uncle Rod's Boot Camp and I'm about halfway through. Since I'm really enjoying this making music thing and want to continue with it, I thought it was time to graduate to my second uke.
After much research here and listening to clips on YouTube, I settled on the Mainland Cedars. A trip to my local music shop confirmed that I wanted to move to a tenor size.
However, Mainland and Uke Republic are currently out of stock. I did a little hunting and found that Sylvan Music in Santa Cruz CA had them in stock! I even went whole hog and had them install a MiSi Trio pickup for me.
I'll be getting plenty of instrument here and looking forward to a major upgrade in terms of sound and playability. It arrives sometime next week.
Thanks to everyone here on the forum. A fantastic group and a wonderful resource!
