Hey, Arch, do you mind if I shirttail this? Rather than start another thread?
I want to get one for a 9 year old girl from church. While I'm at it I'm going to get one for myself and learn along with her. She was smitten w/my guitar yesterday and asked, "Maybe I can borrow my ukulele from school and you can teach me?" Like you said, how do you not encourage that? So I asked her mother if it would be alright I buy her one... I was looking at the local GC's website to get a feel for cost... |

They are made in Eastern Europe, I believe, by the same company that makes Kremona instruments. Here's a link to an online demo

I noticed someone mentioned GC. They have a concert sized Alvarez uke in Grateful Dead decals that plays well. Around $100. I have one of those but mostly play Hawaiian made. You might consider used. Pepe Romero makes a Grand Tenor uke with a wider neck that is easy to play but it’s imported and the solid wood isn’t cheap but the solid top and laminated sides and back is reasonable. Keep strummin’

Yay, you!!
Check out Mim's Ukes page. (Right now down for inventory week.) They do a good setup on each instrument and their prices are good.
I got my little Ohana soprano, solid mahogany top & laminate sides & back, there -- and it's about as cute as it can be. And you can always upgrade to something fancier once daughter decides yes, this is for her!! Quote:

Anything from Hawaii Music Supply/TheUkulelesite is going to be great quality for a decent price. I recommend any Pono Ukulele.

Based on the review on the Got A Ukulele website I purchased a VTAB concert all sold wood special edition for $200.00 shipped to me in California. Lowered the action a bit and installed Fremont Blackline fluorocarbon strings. Fantastic instrument.

We did find a nice Lanikai, concert series, looks good- nice clear loud sound. Perfect for learning. If she masters it i'll get her a nice USA made one, or upgrade to a mandolin.

You should try the Ukulele Site. They're in Hawaii and they set up the ukes as well as part of the purchase. I bought two from them. One is a Kanile'a made in Hawaii and the other is a Koahloa Opio, very nice too.
