I'm taking my final decision. I believe it is worth it to give a little bit more (+35Eur) and have a better instrument, that will last longer.
Thus, I'm going for this one:

Just wanted you guys to agree with me, so that my conscience can be ok...
So, do you agree?!

I would agree, harmonica would be fun to learn.

I wasn't able to find Rogue in that German store, but I guess I prefer the stupid small ukulele.
I was just not sure if it is worth it to spend the additional money for the potential additional quality...
EDIT: Who's that in your av?

All mandolins I've found are above 100 Euros, and that's way too much. I think the uku might be enough to entertain me and keep my fingers moving while I don't play guitar...

what about this one, its only $50USD< so thats like 30euro.
i w0ould MUCH rather play that thing than a uke. granted, it is a POS mandolin, but you really wont know the difference.

I agree with you man. A Mandolin has much more to explore. But can I order it from the States to Portugal at MusiciansFriend?

Man, thanks a lot for that! (I'm impressed with your initiative
)
Well, I guess I'm gonna order the 15Eur uku (The guys form the store confirmed that the all Mahogany one would have a better sound).
