Product Review (submitted on May 13, 2014):

This little fellow (lady?) is my go-to uke and has been ever since I got it a little over a year ago . It has great intonation, action, and play-ability (kudos to HMS for their professional setup) and I've used it whenever I've performed with a ukulele. I always use it when working out a new song because it is so user-friendly and I don't have to think about technical issues. It has a sweet tone that is great for romantic ballads but is hearty enough for Dixieland/Roaring 20's. Some ukes might be great for one style but not appropriate for others but this uke sounds like it fits for just about any style of music.
It's definitely worth the price. It is well constructed, cleanly assembled (no glue visible anywhere) and the satin finish is very handsome.
BTW, I got mine in early 2013 when it was on sale as "Blemished". It seriously took me about 20 minutes to find the "blemish", which was a slight scratch about an inch long on the back that you have to hold up to the light just right to see - and for that this Pono beauty was just a little over 1/2 price! If you're looking for a lot of bang for your buck be sure to check out HMS's specials! Especially if this one is on sale again. Then get two!
