My kids, ages 4 and 6 have developed an interest in my ukes, so with Christmas around the corner I want to get them their own. Would love to hear some pros/cons/tips about the following:
Makala Dolphin/Shark/Ukadellic - are these are all basically the same uke, but with different colors and bridges? (If you can find them in stock anywhere RN)
Makala Waterman - My kids would FLIP over the clear ones and my daughter needs everything in her life to be hot pink! Are they too cheap? I guess if they lose interest we aren't out a ton of money.
Outdoor ukulele - I love the idea of having a uke that can stand up to camping trips or the beach. Would it be a good starter for a 6yr old, or would the flourocarbon strings be too tough on his fingers?
Any other's I've missed? I think an appealing color will help hold their interest over slightly better quality wood ukes.
ETA: My daughter is a lefty... do I need to re-string her's upside down?
