 Met my expectatives January 6, 2009

This is extremely cute. And sounds very good too. br /I spent 30 dollars on a cheap mahalo soprano uke to try out. Now i made the jump and im impressed by the difference. br / br /One of the things i didnt like about the cheap uke was that the notes you produce wasnt perfect when calibrated with digital tuner. This one doesnt have that problem. br / br /It comes with black strings. When i tune them, they only hold the notes for few hours, then it goes like 2 semitones lower. Good thing is all strings lower almost the same so it doesnt feel that out of tune. Im told it is natural when you have new strings. br / br /I have this for a few weeks. Will edit review in a month. If strings dont hold tunes, then rating would be 4.

This was my first ukulele.. actually, it was my first instrument. It was very easy to learn and from there I learned how to play guitar. It is easy to tune and it has a beautiful sound. The aspect I like most about it is the looks of it though - it had a really nice finish and style. I recommend it to anyone who's looking into ukulele's on this site!
i love this ukulele!!! XOXOXOXO July 21, 2008

This is a much better sounding instrument than I expected for the price. It keeps going flat but I've been told that's just the nature of nylon stringed instruments until the strings stretch out completely. My previous experience is all with steel stringed guitars.
 Worth the price January 17, 2008

I've owned the Concert Koa for about 6 months am quite happy with my choice. The construction and finish are fantastic. Tone is great even though I've read reviews saying that a laminate's sound isn't as good as a solid wood ukulele. Recently I started a group ukulele class and I can truthfully state that mine sounds better than some of the more expensive ones in the class. An excellent buy for $120.
