Alright, I'm completely new to the whole ukulele scene and I really want to give it a shot, so, based on a few friend's suggestions I decided to go with the lanikai s-c concert size. It has a solid spruce top, etc. Anyhow, When I went to look where to order from, I found two rather conflicting circumstances. I found this which looks identical to the one my friend owns. http://www.activemusician.com/item--HS.S-C?ref=fg&ovchn=SCU&ovtac=CMP&ovcpn=&ovcrn=Lanikai+S-C+Spruce+Series+Concert+Ukulele And this on nearly every other online retail page http://www.samedaymusic.com/product--LNKSC Is there a difference? Should I ditch buying online altogether? I've never bought an instrument over the internet before, and naturally, I'm a little wary. I tried elderly.com, but they didn't carry that particular model. Thanks a bunch in advance guys.

It has a solid spruce top, etc. Anyhow, When I went to look where to order from, I found two rather conflicting circumstances. Both listings describe the same uke. With a solid spruce top, it's a good, affordable choice for a starter instrument. I own one myself. These recordings were made on the Lanikai S-C concert uke, with low-G Nylgut strings: Aloha Oe http://ezfolk.com/audio/play.php?mode=song_hifi&band_id=297&song_id=1033 I've Been Working On The Railroad http://ezfolk.com/audio/play.php?mode=song_hifi&band_id=297&song_id=1066 Last edited on Tue Jun 10th, 2008 03:40 am by Will ____________________ Will http://ezfolk.com/audio/bands/297/ Loose Change & Friends http://ezfolk.com/audio/bands/245/ http://loosechangeandfriends.com The Earth Tones http://ezfolk.com/audio/bands/337/ A Bunch Of Coconuts http://abunchofcoconuts.com |

I'm not personally familiar with Lanikai ukes, but just looking at the pics something ain't right. The one on the samedaymusic site looks like an all-laminate koa model, even though the description says "solid spruce top and mahogany back/sides". The one on the active musician site looks correct, with a spruce top, and I can't see it, but most likely it has mahogany back/sides. But it's really a crap shoot ordering online, unless it's from a seller like "music guy mike", who has a good reputation, and usually posts pics of the actual uke. If you have any available locally, I've found that ultimately it's the best way to go. But if not, for $99, I'd give the active musician's offering a shot. You can always return it, just losing the shipping costs. Maybe others with experience with Lanikai ukes will chime in. Good luck

I ordered my Lanikai S-C for $99 from Harp Depot in 2004, before they were replaced by the Bushman ukes. Most of my ukes and guitars were ordered on-line.
