" The level of service (I am a pain- I know that) and the quality of the instrument I have received today far outweigh the amount of money I sent you fine folks…which was very hard to part with for me. I am glad to have zero regrets in doing so, because this Ukulele will make me smile more than you could ever imagine. Just felt it was imperative to send you all a thank you note."

- Dave L.
