" The uke you made for me is just stunning. I have played a lot of ukuleles in the last few years, but I still believe that you make the best banjo ukes. The workmanship is faultless, the neck profile is perfect, the fretboard looks so great with no dots and the head plate is simply beautiful. I am genuinely staggered. You have actually greatly surpassed even my highest expectations."
