Hi guys, noticed a few people posting about some nice uke's :) I'm pretty stuck on which one to buy. Have put it down to a few options:

TIki TMC-5-NST Ukulele www.musocity.com.au/ukulele/ukulele-ukuleles/concert/tiki-tmc-5-nst-series-5-solid-mahogany-top-concert-ukulele-w-hard-case.html

Kala KA-CE www.bettermusic.com.au/kala-concert-ukulele-mahogany-w-pickup-ka-ce

Oscar Schmidt OU2 www.musiciansfriend.com//folk-traditional-instruments/oscar-schmidt-ou2-concert-ukulele

So far I haven't found a kala or OS in store to try so unfortunately have to shop online :( Any advice?

Apparently the best pitch for a ukulele depends on how far away the bin is

Sammy556 is probably a Kiwi.

When he heard people talking about utes he probably thought they were talking about ukes, cuzzie-bro.

I bought the Mrs a Leilani Ukulele CONCERT.
She hasn't touched it, so if you're in Sydney and can collect, you can have it.

I bought a Mahalo uke a few years back, but got bored with it quite fast and gave it to my son (1 y.o then). He played a Hendrix style separating neck and body
I don't miss it.. I've got three guitars to play with..

If you want it for travel, it's better to buy some proper travel guitar rather than uke IMO

Why bother with a travel guitar? you can't get bass from a tiny volume. Might as well ditch the two strings and call it a uke. Then you can turn up at all the uke clubs in pubs along the way.

Go the Mahalo, a great uke...the only uke!

I used to own a Washburn Rover, which I bought for my NZ camping/surfing trip, then I used it just to play a "rain song" by LedZep because it needs a different tuning and I couldn't be bothered retuning my normal guitars..its a cool song to play BTW...that washburn was my "rain song" guitar..the sound was great.
