Product Review (submitted on December 4, 2015):

Bought this Uke a couple of weeks ago.
I really love the design and the sound.
It's a tenor Uke but definitely on the smaller side.
I think because of that, for me it's sound is best discribed as somewhere between a concert and tenor size tone.
Sweet and mellow and a nice treble.
Not as harp like as a high gloss can sound sometimes.
Because of the Natural oil finish the sustain is long and you just feel the body vibrating and is very responsive. Very nice!
De gotoh tuners work perfect, very accurate and keep the Uke perfect in tune.
Keep in mind the oil satin finish is not as protective as a high gloss or a normal lacquer satin finish.
Intonation, playability are awesome as usual thanks to the excellent work of Joel!
I think Imua made a really nice Uke with the looks a character and sound of it's own.
A think it's about time to talk about the 4 K's and the 1 i
