Excellent high quality instrument , very attractive appearance in my opinion , beautiful finish and a distinctive sound . The only slight moan is that the tuners are a little stiff but hopefully they will ease in time .
The build quality of this ukulele is superb and it is a real head turner for sure. Sounds as good as it looks too. If I had to be picky, the tuning heads can be very stiff to adjust, the strings could be wound better and the action needs a setup but nothing that can’t be sorted. For the price, this is a great instrument and highly recommended.
