Product Review (submitted on December 26, 2012):

I bought this beatiful instrument a couple of months ago. I asked to be strung with Low G setup, and left the string choice to the guys at HMS. They set it up with koolau's (don't know if Alohi's or Gold's) with 3rd and 4th wounded.
What can I say... The Pono + HMS set up = A wooden Cannon. Sounds really deep, almost like a classic guitar.
The other thing that surprised me was the flawless finish: no details at all, perfectly built instrument.
Last but not least, I got the "plug in" combo, just to have the chance to play plugged. With some reverb from the amp, the Pono sounds just heavenly.
I was tempted to sum up my review saying "best entry level solid wood tenor uke", but to call her "entry level" is just not fare. Lets say that for the buck, you can't get much more than the Pono MT.
