I wanted to purchase a ukulele for well over a year, but after reading about all the donations Orangewood does for schools, I wanted to hold out and purchase from them. It took almost a year for the product line to come out, but OMG am I glad I did! This ukulele is top notch construction! I looked this over with a fine tooth comb and found zero blemishes or issues. The action is perfect, plays great, and more importantly sounds great! I couldn't be happier with my purchase from Orangewood and would pull the trigger on one of their acoustics in a heartbeat.
