Very beautiful ukulele with a loud sound. However, the neck is quite thick, and the strings on my unit are set too high. Unfortunately, trimming the bridge saddle didn’t help much, because to lower the strings further, the bridge would either need to be replaced or sanded down. I bought this ukulele as a gift for my wife, and she’s happy with it. I think when she’s ready for a more professional instrument, we’ll just upgrade, but as a beginner's instrument, it’s not bad. The included case is excellent, and the tuner is the best I’ve tried.
