Gorgeous insturment, both in apperance and sound. A lot of uke for the money. Sure to only improve with age.

I bought one of these maybe three years ago. I love it way more than I thought I would. it's great for fingerpicking, chord solos, jazz and pop from the 30s and 40s, traditional Hawaiian sounds, fingerstyle blues, anything you care to throw at it's four strings comes out full sounding. To pull more sound I re-strung it with some phosphor bronze light strings that wouldn't have too much tension for the neck or saddle and now it even sounds better. Next I'll try some Guadalupe strings and expect even better results. A great baritone uke for the price and dang if it's not pretty, too!

This is a great Ukulele. The sound is fantastic. It is tuned like the 4 high strings of a regular guitar making it easy to play. The guitar is well made with inlays and true binding around the body and neck. The fit and finish is fantastic. It takes time to break in the strings so plan on tuning it at least daily at first.

Believe me, I've had three of them. On all of them the strings started hitting the frets when you play, making a lot of undesirable noise, because the neck had bent backwards after a while,(A couple of months) for some reason. I've now ordered a Ohana baritone uke instead, that I've heard is much better, but more expensive and not as pretty as the Samick Greg Bennett UK70B. But for me it's the quality of playing that counts, not how the instrument looks.

Nothing really wrong with it, but I didn't fall in love with it when I started playing it. It's fine, but not one I look forward to playing as much as others I own. It's not as warm as some bari ukes, but it does the job.

I ordered a ukulele from this seller and over a week later it is still in "packing". I will remove this bad review when the seller actually finds its customers worth considering. Don't even try to say the package has been sent, as seems to be the excuse for all your bad reviews. (to the seller)
