I've been playing uke for about 3 years now and I always used cheaper ukuleles. I thought it was finally time to treat myself and get the ukulele I deserved. Not only did the payment plan provide me with the opportunity to have this instrument but zzounds got it to me in 2 days! When I opened it I immediately started to check it for flaws, but it had none. The sound is great (I always wanted a uke made from that legendary koa wood). The intonation is even better, no fret buzz as I was used to even with lower end lanikai products(it even comes equipped with Aquila strings)! The instrument is a beautiful as it looks in the pictures with not a piece out of place (I see you get what you pay for)! Not to mention the on-board tuner is priceless. Also I plugged it into my interface of my computer and ran it through Garageband and added some effects and it sounded better than I hoped for. It truly is everything I need. Now all I need is a hard case so I can make sure I'll have it forever. I can't even see myself needing another uke...ever. Long story short, buy it, and most importantly buy it from here-its about 80-90 dollars cheaper than other BIG online music stores.
