Already have enough challenges with a normal 6 string guitar to go into a weird 4 string one. But than again that ukulele looks too cute and affordable too No no... got to stop the itch.

Another completely different sets of chords positions and notes to remember, I will get pening

Wah... how is it similar? For example say G chord

6 strings familiar guitar

|--3---| 1st String
|--0---| 2nd String
|--0---| 3rd String
|--0---| 4th String
|--2---| 5th String
|--3---| 6th String

4 strings ukulele, how? there is no 5th or 6th string to hold a G chord.

|--3---| 1st String
|--0---| 2nd String
|--0---| 3rd String
|--0---| 4th String

I guess it is totally different fingers positions, right?

Ah!... learn something new again.....

Guys please bear with me just started playing guitar using tabs only. So asking question which may sound funny to the experts here Thank you for taking time to explain the above, but right now, it sound too technical for me. Since you say this are very basic music theory, I better start reading about it. Would you recommend any website where I can read/learn about music theory without having to attend classes.

I guess, I'll stick with the 6 string until understand more about music theory, before exploring ukulele

Already googled and found interesting site with free information
Thought you might recommend some favorited site being long in the music. Thats okay.
I used to buys books lots of them. But ever since got internet, have almost completely stop buying books. RM50 is not much, but it would be silly to spend it when information are available for free and green too just pay internet fee only.

Have never own docker or anything similar, frown at those blocking path, Iphone?... nah, over price, low spec and confine.., using Android instead. I do shop for affordable stuffs and rarely branded stuffs. Definitely never fake branded stuffs, that is really silly

I appreciate all information you have share so far, thanks alot

Hi,

Your opinion about this Ukulele in the image. solid wood, clean finishing, brand Mahalo, model U320C/G, price RM180. Can buy?

I saw another Mahalo priced RM60, didn't take picture, but it looks like the one in Mudah.com, not solid wood, I think is bit smaller too, but finishing is edgy, make me wonder wonder if precision is also compromised. Someone mentioned about pirated Ukulele, wonder if this is the one?

I may go for the RM180, but like some comments first.

Yes, it's a concert size ukelele. You are right, RM180 is high. I got mine last week for RM135 for a concert size.

It looks like solid wood so I wonder why do you suspect these are not. How to check?

Anyway I find it difficult to hold a ukulele still while changing chord (haven't got use to it yet) , so I gave it a strap button. Much better now.

The last time I check the price for Mahalo brand Ukulele was as follows.

Soprano - RM60 - 65
Concert - RM135
Tenor -RM155
Baritone - RM180

If you want to compare the sound of these different sizes of ukulele, this guy can help Charles 016376111

Hope that put an end to price inquiry for affordable range Ukuleles.

If cash is not an issue than you can get an Ukulele concert size for RM5000 from Ukulele Malaya at Batu Caves

If you are have no intention to turn professional ukulele player, than the above brand from concert size and above will satisfy most of your Ukulele needs.

"ukulele needs" ???

Anyway hope this is helpful for future ukulele buyers.
