Hello! I am getting my second uke because I am sick of my little plinky ka-p soprano and I was looking at the mainland mahogany concert ukulele. Are these really good quality instruments? Would you recommend any others in the 100-250 range? Thanks so much!

[uketricks]

@Kenyora22 you know, I've never played a Mainland ukulele, but I was SOOO close to buying their mahogany concert ukulele earlier this year. So close... I just haven't had the necessary funds to cover the expense right now. I've heard such great things. From what I have heard from other Mainland owners, that would be a great investment!

Do you have to use a low g string to tune it down an octave lower or can you just use a normal string and tune it down?

[uketricks]

@allia31 I find there isn't enough tension with a normal string so I get a "low G" string set. You can also buy an individual wound low G string too.

i think its easier to pick it by letting ur thumb drag down the 4 strings and then picking them individually going back up

[RemusLupin2431]

@kbasanini if you want a good beginner ukulele that you will really love...buy a Kala brand ukulele

[RemusLupin2431]

@Kenyora22 if you want to get a good uke...dont buy a mahogany...the wood is too cheap and mass produced

@alexandruthegreat95 i think you may need a low g string

[alexandruthegreat95]

I'm still trying to figure out how to tune the string to a low G...can't get it right for some reason
