Product Review (submitted on December 23, 2012):

I purchased this uke approx a year ago from Hawaii Music Supply. The entire experience was a pleasure. The instrument's quality and professional set up actually made me sound better!
The wood quality is "simple beauty". The craftsmanship is solid. The finish is superb (difficult for satin finish) and the sound is top notch. I have natural gut strings which combine with the solid mahogany to give it a classic and clean sound. I continue to be surprised at the rich sound from a soprano.
I've owned more than 40 ukes. I will not say that this one is the best. I won't even say it is in the top 5. (Those are handbuilt, Hawaiian and solid koa) But I will say that I wouldn't give it up!
Great quality. Unmatched value. Nice sound. And the wood (along with my skills) will only improve with time. If you are not a pro on tour but serious about playing, this one offers great value.
