Ukulele Showdown: Mele vs Breedlove

[@jimgallant8721]

Ukuleles originated in Portugal and came to Hawaii in the late 1800s.

I have both a Breedlove tenor and a Mele tenor. For me both have a low G. They both sound great and I use both.

Tatum and I both say the Mele our pick. I like the deeper tones. And now I'm inspired and playing my ukulele!!

Brad! I didn't know you had so many gifts and talents. First, I love your voice!! I'm a fan of the Male for sure!

[@carolynmacdonald1262]

I can't decide which I like best. I love the two together. Two Brads are better than one. Who knew.👍👍

The Mele has a deeper and richer sound - my preferred brand. They sound nice together in harmony

I liked the Mele. It had a certain warmth to it and it really had a distinct Hawaiian sound. Also, enjoyed the sixth Beatle. Well done. 🌴

Wow! Great video! I agree with Carol, two Brads are better than one. The low string on the Mele is the tuning that Iz used on his famous recording of “Somewhere over the rainbow.” Koa is such a beautiful wood that creates a distinct mellow tone - for the best Ukulele, I am voting for the one that Brad is playing!

Can you link to the strap you use? I bought an uke from Mele, but I bought an uke from their cheaper line, Maui Ukulele Co. It sounds great, and it is preparing me to buy a nicer uke someday.

I got my strap from the Jake Shimabukuro website! jakeshimabukuro.com/blog/tag/strap/. Hope this helps.
