This was my third ukulele purchased from Uke like the Pros, service is remarkable and they aim to please their customers. Delivery was as promised for ground shipping, I knew it would take at least 7 days to arrive to Michigan from California that's the only draw back - but this store was the only place that I found with remarkable affordable prices for high quality ukuleles. Now on to the KoAloha KoAlana ukulele... the ukulele is beautiful, but because of the d'Addario titanium strings the sound was disappointing for me - I immediately changed them out with a wound low G and Martin fluorocarbon strings and now it sounds 110% better, new strings are still settling and I'm still stretching them but should be holding tune in a week. Now it has the warmer sound I'm used to playing - is it as good as my Romero's - hmmm No but it will make a good travel ukulele.
