Product Review (submitted on November 6, 2013):

This is my first ukulele and I am impressed foremost with the sweet sound of this instrument. The warmth of tone makes this uke a joy to play. Mine arrived with a perfect finish and an equally superlative setup by this shop. I think that the setup of my Pono by HMS equals or perhaps even rivals the local shop's setup of my acoustic guitar.

I started with the Worth Brown strings, but now play mine low-G strung with Worth Clear CH-LGEX strings. Similar to another review I read, the Pono's are stoutly built and require a heavier string to bring them alive. The Worth's fit the bill and I can confidently recommend the Clears.

Did I mention the sweet, woody, and complex sound offered by the combination of cedar and acacia? I have a single uke that I now play more than my guitar.
