First remember the price, for the money its very good. There are one or two little flaws though, it sounds and feels like a cheap ukulele, (but what did I expect?) Also the tuners are not great, and not well fitted, (having only seen mine I can't say if this is a one off or a general issue?) What is a plus though is the paintwork, and this was why I got it, it is a different and striking design, and when it arrived I found that the finish quality far exceeded my expectations up close! A smooth, even finish with no extraneous paint anywhere and no signs of excess glue. There are better available, even it this price range, but there aren't better looking.
