Makala Comparison

Comparing two entry-level soprano Makala ukuleles. One has wooden back and sides, and the other has the newer molded plastic back and sides. Both sound pretty good to my ear.

[eallend]

what song is it that you play with the orange one? or is it just an exercise?

[williedeuel]

@eallend If I remember right, I play two songs: Here Comes the Sun by the Beatles, and Jake Shimabukuro's Crazy G.

They sound like cheap toys. You should get some real instruments!

[williedeuel]

@sexybaerchen81 They are cheap, entry level instruments. I do have some fabulous instruments, but these were purchased for entry-level players. Uke players often buy playable cheapies for situations in which great tone isn't important and the instruments might get damaged.

@Xanpooh Lol the things you know! :p Ukelelé power!

[jlardrey]

@Xanpooh technically its percussion. hammers strike the strings to create the sound. You dont directly pluck or rub the strings.

@BlondBlackGuy Thats its type, i was talking about the way piano produce it's sound. But for even more acuracy, piano is considered a chordophone and a percussion instrument (and it makes sense, oddly enough :p)

[BlondBlackGuy]

@Xanpooh its actually considered a percussion instrument oddly enough...
