Product Review (submitted on December 25, 2012):

After much searching and corresponding with Andrew, I chose the Pono Mahogany Tenor ukulele with built in pickup. I liked the all solid wood, the adjustable neck, and the built in pickup. I waited several months for the Pono to come in. It had the usual high quality set up and was strung with Koolau Golds in high G.

It was well worth the weight. This little instrument always brings a smile to my face. It is smooth, has great sustain, and a shimmering sound. The neck is just perfect, and finished nicely. It feels good just to pick it up. The pickup is great, requiring little to no eq to produce a great sound that makes people stop in their tracks the first time they hear it.

The Pono stays in tune well, feels good to play with the satin finish, and sounds great. I think it's a great value and a great instrument. Buying from Hawaii Music Supply was a no brainer. Between Andrew and Aaron, everything was seamless. My friend was so impressed he has bought several ukuleles from HMS and plans on visiting the store on a spring trip to Hawaii in 2013.

Don't hesitate to buy a Pono from HMS. You'll be glad you did.
