Fantastic tonal qualities. Perfect balance with a classic Hawaiian Koa ‘bark’. Wonderful mid-range with a very nice top-end and balanced lows. The ukulele also has great clarity and a nice touch of warmth as well. If it sounds this good new, it’ll be even better as it opens up over time. Perfectly set intonation. A highly sought after custom ukulele that is very light in weight with a great sound and rarely found in the US. ID#210014
