Product Review (submitted on March 16, 2014):

Bought this a few years ago elsewhere. Impeccable workmanship, very light construction, very thin fingerboard (1/2 the thickness of my other two sopranos). Uses thinner fretwire than I've seen on my other ukes. Compensated saddle. Great intonation, low action, loud, bright tone (with Worth Clear strings). Took about 6 months for the sound to fully open up. Fret markers on fingerboard at 5, 7, 10, but not markers on fingerboard side. Tuners are friction, so you may need to adjust the tension with a screwdriver, but that is par for the course. This is a great looking, great sounding uke, and you won't have to baby it as much because it is a laminate.
