Ukulele
 

Does anyone know what a good ukulele brand is and what the approximate cost would be?

It's tough to find a decent one - I never find the popular brands to be very good...I don't rate any of the Fender/Honu - probably the best vintage one I've played was a Martin
Generally, the really good Tenor/Baritone ones go for about $3/400 - but they put out a much better sound - otherwise around $150...
If you do find a decent one let me know though...
