I’ve owned this uke for about two years now. This ukulele is terrific for the price. Rest assured, if your having problems getting it to sound right, it’s you. Much, much, much better than the $20-30 models. If you want something quality to play with without paying too much, this is for you.

I bought one of these on eBay when they first came out because it reminded me of one I borrowed from a friend of mine 25 years ago. I would have to say that it’s really beautiful, with a high-gloss finish and gorgeous woodgrain on the back and sides. The tuners work beautifully and hold well. The intonation and action was excellent on mine, but I’ve heard that some have had to lower the action on theirs. I thought that the thick wood and heavy finish would dampen the sound, but I haven’t found that to be the case. It has a brighter sound than my 1951 Harmony baritone, more like a guitar than a ukulele. It’s not a Kamaka or Martin, of course, but it’s a far cry from one of those $29.00 models.
