Hey,
Just thought I'd post a follow up. I decided on a Flea from the Magic Fluke Co. I ordered a pineapple model and am completely satisfied with it. The only thing that I might have done differently is to order it with a rosewood fretboard for 59$. I think it would be more aesthetically pleasing than the standard Polycarbonate fretboard.
In any case, I have been having a great time strumming and finger picking my new uke.
Ciao!
Whoa Fredmerz, dude, hold on a minute. Upyerkilt wrote that he got his ukulele YESTERDAY. It takes several days to break the strings in. It's totally normal that it is constantly going out of tune as the strings are stretching. Just keep on tuning it before you play it, or a couple times a day if you're not playing it, and it will steadily get better. In less than a weeks time it will be just fine.
Of course, if you've already bought expensive new string, don't worry about it. If your old strings were el cheapo, then the new ones will be an improvement. And if the old ones were already aquality set of strings well, now you have an extra set. ^_^

Hi!
I just started playing the ukulele as well, actually I got started by borrowing one (a cheap Mahalo) from a friends kid. Now I'm thinking about buying one for myself, either the uke-stick from <a href="http://www.risa-music.de" target="_blank">http://www.risa-music.de</a> or a Flea or a Fluke from The Magic Fluke Co. Has anyone tried either of these?
Anyway, I thought I would share some links I came across that might be of interest to ukulele players:
<a href="http://www.ukeland.com" target="_blank">http://www.ukeland.com</a> - some nice pages from other players who have been nice enough to contribute their own recordings. Also checkout the podcast (ukecast) - a weekly 'show' for uke players.
<a href="http://www.ukulele.nl" target="_blank">http://www.ukulele.nl</a> - you must have Flash installed to view this website, but it's worth it. Lots of stuff to explore here, from a handy cord chart (in C and D tunings) to ukulele players worldwide to a nice songbook.
Ciao for now!
