I'm going to try to pick up playing the uke.. I play the guitar, btw. I think the uke is far cooler than the guitar which too common . Can anyone of you share what brand and where you bought your uke from (in malaysia) and how satisfied are you with it? I'm a complete noob when it comes to buying the uke.
My budget is only RM100 - RM 200. Is this too low to get a decent uke?

Everrdying, I read from another thread that you bought a Samick . Is it the UK50? Where did you buy it?

Thanks. I bought the last UK50 on the shelves today from Harmony at RM130. They don't have any other models/brand.
Tuned it, sounds acceptable to me for that price!

The label on my Samick UK50 says it's made in Indonesia. I'm satisfied with my UK50 (for now). Read some foreign forums reviews , they say that if strung with Aquila Nylgut Strings, it'll sound better.

im going to go cheap...two choices (http://www.ezfolk.com/forums/forum18/2025-1.html)

Now where can I get those strings locally.. hmm....
