Product Review (submitted on September 17, 2013):

This was my first Uke purchase coming from a guitar background. I did a lot of research prior to buying, and decided the Pono ATD gloss tenor from HMS was going to be it! I took a chance on this Uke, as no local dealers in my area carried Pono's. What a wonderful instrument! I've been over it with a fine tooth comb, and can't find a single flaw. The wood grain and finish are gorgeous, with tonal qualities that can only improve with consistent playing. The neck is a bit thicker than other Ukes I tried, but still seems thin after playing a guitar! Tuners are high quality and hold pitch quite well for a new Uke. My only complaint was the Ebony fingerboard appeared a bit dry on arrival, however can only improve with a little lemon oil. Overall I don't think I could find a better quality Uke in this price range. Thanks to HMS for making this happen! My Uke set-up was spot on, and far better than any guitar I've ever owned. Your website and sound samples are wonderful, with unmatched customer service. I'll definitely be back for more in the coming years. I'm hooked!
