    I ordered a blemished version of this ukulele at first but it was super damaged, not "like new" as the description said, but it sounded great. So i returned it and bought a new one of the same model. The new one sounds much worse than the damaged one, the A string buzzes even when open and 5 or 6 of the frets on the g string buzz no matter how you play them. Hopefully after a setup it will sound good but it should at least be playable out of the box. Very annoying.

    This is my second ukulele, and I haven't played my other one since. It has a beautiful body with a full, smooth sound. Built-in tuner is a great plus.

  • Beautiful Instrument!

    This ukulele is gorgeous and definitely has a unique look. The glossy finish is quality and the neck is smooth and comfortable to play. The built-in tuner is handy to have, but it stays in tune nicely. I've really enjoyed playing this ukulele and I'm so happy that I picked it up!

  • Beautiful, but small

    This is an absolutely beautiful instrument, but even my small hands and fingers have a hard time playing on the small frets. Nice sound, will probably stay in tune after breaking in.
