Title: Guitar/Ukulele recommendations.
Post by: pichu23 on Wed, 21 January 2015, 15:21:44
Hiya everyone.

I'm not sure if this the right spot but I'm planning to pick up a Uke.
Just to clarify, I have not learnt any instruments before and I thought the Uke would be a good start.
I was just looking at these since it's not that expensive to begin with but I'm not sure how would these hold up.

or

Any feedback would be great !

Thanks ! :D

I agree uke is a great start. It is significantl more ergonomic than a guitar.

Ukes are made from the throw away material created by the real instruments...
