Product Review (submitted on December 23, 2012):

I've been a Pono fan for a while. My first ukulele was a Pono Deluxe Tenor. I ordered online and was blown away by it's wonderful sound/tone.

This soprano ukulele is no exception either. It has become my 'go to ukulele'. The mahogany has a wonderful mellow sound. And don't let the 'blem' dissuade you. I wasn't able to find any on mine. It's a beautiful ukulele. The mat finish looks much better in person than the online pictures show.

My only aesthetic complaint is that the rosette looks like a decal. It would be much better as an inlay or nothing at all. But that's my taste.

Overall an excellent value. In my experience Pono's are already a very good uke at a great price. These 'blem' sales make them the best deal anywhere.

HMS also did a great job with the setup. It arrived with a nice low action all the way up the neck and no buzzing to speak of - Perfect!
