Product Review (submitted on March 22, 2016):

I purchased this ukulele last summer. HMS sent it via FED EX and it arrived on time and carefully boxed for shipping to the Seattle area.
The Koolau/Pono hard case was impressive and of high quality. The first site of this fine crafted solid mahogany tenor ukulele created a sense of joy, wonder, and optimism. I knew this uke was going to accelerate my playing up to the next level!
This uke has great midtones, sustain, and intonation. The Koolau high G strings sound great now. These are higher tension strings, however, so it took a while to break them in. Additionally, they are more sensitive to ambient temperature changes.
The high gloss mahogany, the Abalone rosette, Pearl dotted fret markers, and the Ebony purfling, give this uke an outstanding look and value.
I plan on another ukulele purchase soon from HMS! I may be afflicted with "UAS", i.e. Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome.
