    Rock Steady music in Harrogate, they carry Tanglewoods starting from £30 I think, I bought one for £60 that has genuinely got a really nice tone and is nice to play.

    I've got a Mahalo koa one that was £89 new, but they do cheap ones too, starting at about £25. I think there's an in-between model as well. (Mahogany maybe?)

    Make sure you buy one that has proper strings or if not you will have to buy some or it will sound balls and never stay in tune.

    I find a soprano is too small so I got a concert which is much easier for me to play.
