A little late for me as I already have a Lanikai LU21 as my "starter" uke but you are spot on with all you say about it (BTW I think I got ripped off as mine cost me about £80 form a music shop in central London but you live and learn!). UAS has kicked in and I'm now compiling a list of the next ones I would like (Flea, Fluke and Kala KA-SSTU-TE Electro Acoustic Tenor Travel Ukulele are on it, along with a Waterman for fun) and I really appreciate your reviews as they give me a great insight into what might or might not be a good buy AND suit me. Thank you!

(I quietly hope it is the start of a lifelong addiction for them and provides a home for my Uke collection when I am struggling to learn the harp (or playing the Baritone Kazoo, depending on how Judgement Day goes for me.) While the specs are almost identical, the devil is indeed in the details. You were spot on and I got Kalas. Thanks for your long and useful service.

They are so close, just buy the one looks best to the buyer because by the time they play well enough to hear the difference, thy will have about 5 ukes to choose from....;-)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09144567879727773212noreply@blogger.com
