" I just wanted to say thank you for my ukulele. Everything about it is beautiful: the sound; the feel; and the look. I will treasure it. The instrument alone would’ve been enough, but your customer service was equally impressive. I appreciated how patient you were as I continuously vacillated through different choices. (I think I chose right, in retrospect, as this concert instrument is the perfect size.) Plus, your videos are so informative, and the website uke tracker is lots of fun"
