" The uke is awesome. Cannot wait to get home play.

Great job! Thanks again to every one. I am home now and I can't believe how great it sounds. This is probably going to be the go to uke. That is saying a lot because I now have 3 Mya-Moe to chose from. I cannot wait to see how it opens up. Thanks again to every one."
