Product Review (submitted on December 23, 2012):

This was my first all-solid Hawaiian built ukulele but not the first I had played but it was and still is the finest by quite some distance. The sound that came from the small body of this uke was astounding to me the first time I strummed it, I knew Koaloha's were loud but nothing prepared me for just how loud. The word that kept coming to me when trying to describe the actual tone of this ukulele was crisp. It has a bite to the notes and while I know sound is a very subjective thing, I struggle to imagine a nicer one! Excellent high gloss finish which is my preference, immaculate construction and lovely grain to the koa. The tuners took a bit of getting used to for me, being primarily a guitarist and these being the first friction pegs I'd used but once I did it was fine, in fact the uke stays in tune remarkably well and for days at a time quite often which really surprised me. All in all, I would definitely recommend this uke and would buy a Koaloha again. A+
