Cascade Series

 

" It exceeds my expectations.  It is a thing of beauty, but even more than that is the music that comes out of it.  Has done more to make me sound better playing than anything I've done.  So thank you very much, I am more than thrilled with it.  You make a damn nice ukulele, thank you."

- Dan O.
