Islander MSS-4 Solid Mahogany Soprano Ukulele

Product Review (submitted on December 26, 2012):

I see the Islander MSS-4 is now out of stock. I hope for the sake of future customers more come in, as this is an absolutely delightful ukulele. I was initially a little daunted because the neck is thicker than I am used to, doubtless making it easier for men to play, but requiring me to stretch my fingers. Once I grew used to the neck's girth, however, I was soon enough able to produce sounds that while not quite so sweet as those heard on Aaron's demonstration video, are a near enough rival. As another reviewer mentioned, the MSS-4 is "sensational looking." Seriously, this uke is gorgeous. The mahogany is beautifully finished, and the detail work along the body and on the bridge, neck, and around the mouth is delicate and artful. Islander kicked the proverbially can long down the road with one.
