Any recomandation of a good brand sold in Canada or USA?

Should I go with soprano or concert size?

Thanks!
When I first was looking into ukuleles a few years ago, a guitar player who also played ukulele recommended a Kala KA-STG as a good starter uke. So I got one blind on-line for about $160 (about what it still sells for now). I was, and still am, very pleased with this tenor ukulele. It's a keeper. Solid spruce top over a mahogany (presumably layered) body, it has a nice clear sound and is a great little instrument.

So allow me to recommend it to you too.

Don
