Product Review (submitted on December 30, 2012):

I own a MPTSHE which is similar to these (maple instead of rosewood but with the same cedar soundboard). It is a highly crafted instrument with beautiful abalone inlay on the head and rosetta. The finish is flawless and very durable (no scratches after 9 months of playing). My Pro Series model also has the adjustable truss rod which I have not seen in other ukuleles. Mine is strung high G with Freemont strings and has a very rich sound. When I feel like plugging it in, the passive Pono pick-up has a very natural sound. I was initially skeptical of a Chinese built instrument, but was blown away when it arrived. Throw in the top end case, humidifier, free shipping and expert set-up and support from Hawaii Music Supply and this becomes a value-packed deal.
