" Hi Cary, OH WOW!!!! When l opened up the case, l pretty much stopped breathing for a few seconds. The ukulele is really something special. It plays like a dream and the notes float around like clouds. What an incredible sound and resonance this ukulele has. Deepest thanks and appreciation to you Cary for making such a beautiful instrument. Believe me, l am just over the moon. I love it and honestly, it’s probably won my heart over my other ukuleles- there is something magical about it. "
