My step-son recently announced that he was going to learn to play the uke and put one on his Christmas list. (Because of MY influence? No, of course not... Apparently there's 'some guy' at school who plays one and it's 'cool'. Whatever. It'll be enjoyable to hear him play anyhow.) He knows how to play both the violin and guitar well, so he won't be a beginner for long, but I'm not sure what to start him out on. Any recommendations for a particular make/model that one can pick up in the L.A./O.C. area? Price is a consideration (just in case it doesn't live up to his excpectations of 'coolness' - he's 14, fyi...), but even moreso is one that is 'appropriate' for a quick-learning beginner in terms of size and all that. Pablus? Kukulele? Ookoo? TikiKing? Anyone? Post or PM me!
