" Our new Ukuleles arrived on Thursday evening in perfect condition.  They are even more spectacular in person than they looked in the photos.  I have a very nice Collings D1A dreadnaught acoustic and these instruments rival it for quality of construction.   The playability up and down the neck is outstanding, and the tone is already excellent.  All in all, the entire purchase to delivery experience was fantastic!  "
