" The uke is perfect; the tone is clear as a bell, and really a lot louder than I expected. I have been playing it extensively, both solo and for accompanying fiddles and it really does suit every purpose I throw at it. The electronics too, are excellent. A soundman said to me, ‘That little thing is a LOT ****ing louder than I was expecting!’ The audience also flat out could not believe that it was a ukulele that I was playing."

- Rufus H.
