Thanks for the speedy reply and advice, Bongo! While I do love the Flea Market Music Jumpin' Jim's ukulele songbooks, I don't love either the Flea or Fluke ukuleles. Mele's direct from Hawaii ukes are simply breathtaking and oh, how I wish I had a couple hundred bucks to spend on one of them, however they are just a bit out of my price range. For some reason the Koaloha at Elderly looks a tad cheap to me and I'm now disenchanted with my original choice of the Applause/Ovation ukulele. Something about the plastic back didn't sit well with me either. So, now I'm informed but more confused than ever. I wish this was an easier choice. I don't want a piece of garbage like I had and I certainly don't need top of the line. BUT if I'm spending money, I want to feel confident that I'm buying quality. Make sense?

I guess I'll just keep on looking and let you all know what I ultimately decide to do!

Thanks again! :)
