" Love at first sight ! After months of waiting, stocking your website, living on your Shop Tracker page, even hoping you wouldn't sleep, in order to push her through. All my hopes and expectations have been exceeded. Her fine finishes, her incredible sound, everything about her are exceptional. The quality ukulele you have given to me far surpass my abilities. I can't wait to grow into her. Thank you for sharing your gifts of love and music with me."
