Let's do this thing...
Jul. 21st, 2012 01:03 pmHello, musician friends. I need some advice.
I have decided that I am going to learn how to play the ukulele. I read some advice posted online (by someone we know) that suggested looking at Lanakai, and I found one online. Then we went out to Guitar Center so we could actually see and hold some. They did not have the one I looked at online...in fact, they only had a couple of Lanikais and they were pretty low-end ones.
Rand has successfully convinced me to get an electric-acoustic, so that's what I'm focused on.
Then we looked at this one (a Cordoba), which is more expensive but looked and sounded really nice. The salesman, who is a player (and has many ukes of his own), said it was his favorite.
They are both tenor ukeleles. I didn't really know going in what I was looking for. Obviously, since I couldn't see it in person, I don't know what the first one actually sounds like. Also, I didn't know how quickly I was looking to buy, but Guitar Center has a $30 coupon that expires tomorrow. Uke #2 also comes with a pretty nice padded gig bag.
Anyway, I am terrible at making decisions like this, so I thought I'd ask the internet for some advice. Thanks! :)
