" I want to send a sincere thank you to you, Gordon and Aaron for not only building such fine ukuleles, but in caring so much about the quality of your product and also about the customers who purchase them. Your enthusiasm is a refreshing quality not often found in businesses. These are a few of the reasons why you guys have the topnotch reputation you have. Your ukes are a testament to your efforts."
