" Cary, I would like to thank you for the most excellent experience of buying an instrument. From visiting your shop, getting to meet you and picking out my wood, and also playing some of your Uke’s, everything was great. #2670 plays like a dream and sounds lovely, I couldn’t be happier..thanks again. "
