" I want yo to know that I LOVE LOVE my new 6 string tenor!! I love that the uke is rich sounding and loud but still sounds sweet and ukulele like! As a professional musician, I can say for certain it has the best intonation of any ukulele I've ever owned or played regularly! Thank you! I LOVE IT!"
