Good looking, good sounding ukulele - a delight to play
This ukulele is very reaonably priced for one made of solid acacia. The tone is very good and it is a very attractive, well-made instrument made in Portugal. With a scale length of 395 mm it is slightly larger than a usual concert ukulele with a scale length of about 380 mm. This is a probably a factor in giving it a good tone. It doesn't come with a gigbag, but this is not a problem as it fits inside a Rockbag, available from Thomann. Under related products on the page for the ukulele, Thomann show the Ibanez gigbag, but this is unlikely to be large enough. Thomann recommended the Rockbag. The fixing of the strings at the bridge is unconventional as the strings go back inside the body of the ukulele, where they are knotted; access is through the sound hole. This makes changing strings more complicated. However, there doesn't seem to be any reason why the strings cannot be tied at the end of the brifge in a more conventional fashion, which is what I shall do when I change them. All in all I am delighted with the purchase.

LOVELY tone Use
I really like this. It has a bright, warm tone. It looks and feels beautiful. And stays in tune pretty well. there's one or two frets that make tuning it a little more involved, (trying to match open strings with fretted notes) but once you get it, it sounds great.
