[David McLaughlin]

I paid just over$100 for mine. I went to a chain music store (Guitar center) looked at a few and picked one I liked. While the reviews on the model I bought ( a concert sized Luna) aren't the best, I liked the look and I didn't think it sounds bad. I'm not a musician, just wanted to have some fun

I picked the concert sized because I liked the sound best. It looks less like a toy than the soprano. The tenor sized is strung differently so there's less out there on how to lean to play

There are a million books, YouTube videos and apps to learn from. I bought a couple books as the videos go to fast for me. The biggest hurdle for me are changing cords faster and making a bar cord sound like anything at all.

Good luck
