Product Review (submitted on December 24, 2012):

This is a lightly built and sweet sounding uke that looks like a Martin but does not have the plinky Martin sound, that I like, in my opinion. The action is so low on my uke that I can't believe it dosn't buzz anywhere. This is probably one of the few instrument HMS does not need to set up since there's not much room for improvement out of the factory. It really feels like an old instrument that's in perfect shape. I didn't like the Hilo black strings it came with at first but Aquila's did not work for me. Worths were good but I like the D'Addario black nylon strings best with this instrument.

These are just a little more in cost than the excellent Ponos but at a much higher level of quality. I highly recommend this brand.
