BadAax, Mainland Plastic Gecko: Ukulele Window Shopping

Mainland are following Kala into the pastel and plastic ukulele field. Interesting that both brands seem to be distancing themselves from the plastics ukes. Kala market theirs as Makala. And the Mainlands are missing the logo on the headstock and seem to have Gecko on the soundhole sticker. Also hoosierhiver (of Mainland) was playing down expectations on the UU thread.

Another Kala trick that looks like it’s catching on is the thinline travel uke. Here’s one from Ana’ole.

Another guitar manufacturer bustling into ukuleles: the hilariously named BadAax.
