im probly going to be satisfied with this uke until either it breaks or i somehow all of the sudden get super good and upgrade

Sound
ok so a couple of my friends in jazz band at my high school are really good at the ukulele.. i started getting interested and they said i should start with this uke... so i bought it and i couldnt be more satisfied (except for the tuning). the gear tuners are really nice, but, since the strings are brand new and havent been used at all, they are really tense.. so for the first few days i had to re-tune it about every 10-15 minutes. the front and back shell is kind of thin, but it still sounds nice.. so if you're a beginner and thinking about buying this uke, DONT THINK! JUST GET IT! most likely you wont regret it

Features
just the uke.. no accessories.

Ease of Use
not much learning curve here other than if you arent very good at tuning an instrunment. it comes with a little booklet with the major and minor chords and some 7 chords.. simple common ones like that.

Quality
obviously its a step above the toy models but not as good as if you were to spend a little more on a more expensive model.. but for beginners this is about as good as its gonna get.

Value
very decent price for a model like this.

Manufacturer Support
no problems with zzounds as usual.. except i live read more in alaska, and there was no option for ground shipping.. so i was forced to get 2 day air.. wich actually took 4 days.

The Wow Factor
theres not a glossy finish, so its good that it doesnt really show finger prints, but kinda doesnt look too classy if you know what i mean.. the rosewood fretboard and bridge are nice though and i like the white outlining is nice
