Ya_Big_Tree Posted May 18, 2014 Share Posted May 18, 2014 Does anyone play the ukelele that could offer me some pointers on what to look for? I think I've found the one I want... it kinda chose me in a way. But I haven't bought it yet so any advice would be welcome. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maverick Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I'd say that looks pretty good. The electronics are by Fishman, and they are good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The electronics are by Fishman, and they are good.Ya its a lil more than I was thinking of spending but after playing it in the store and seeing all the potential it has with the pick ups and all I think I'm going to take the plunge and get it. Fishman are good... been doing research and having that already installed is a hell of a lot cheaper then getting it done later. Not a cheaply made product which is what I'm in the market for. I don't want a piece of crap that's going to be out of tune so much or not have as full of sound that this baby does. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're being smart by not going cheap for your first one. Higher quality instruments feel better, play better, and sound better. All of that means you will be more motivated to play. Plus, with the electronics, you are giving yourself room to expand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw the concert sized one and started playing it and immediately I fell in love. The sales clerk told me he'd give me a deal to do it on layaway so in a few weeks it's mine :) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 I record a guy who plays uke. I'll see what he has to say. He has a few of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 My buddy has a couple by Kala but he says Luna and Lanikai make some nice ones as well. His Kala that I've seen is nice and can be heard in this commercial: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusX-1Bk2 Posted May 22, 2014 Share Posted May 22, 2014 Oh, I forgot to mention he said the Lanikais are more pricey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
