Pros & Cons
Pros
If 21 incher is too small for your beginner, this 23incher is a good alternative. For the great price the craftsmanship is awesome. Best of all, for everything included and the quality, it was very reasonably priced.
The included chart and guide book makes it easy for beginners to learn the ukulele. This instrument is amazing for someone looking to learn their first instrument and/or learn some music theory. The little booklet and chord chart are. A good extra.
The case is very nice. Not a flimsy gig bag, but a nice tweed padded case. I dont really care for the carry case (the zippers are plastic) but it does what it needs to when carrying and storing my uke.
It sounds fantastic both as an electric or acoustic especially as an acoustic. It has a distinctive sound that my husband prefers above my other assorted ukuleles.
Action is on the high side at 4mm at the 12th fret. Now that i see that the strap feeds behind the neck, the pin placement makes much more sense.
Cons
The nut slots were not cut deep enough. There were also sharp edges to some of the fret wires.
Build quality of the ukulele lowers the aesthetics rating. Workmanship is not exquisite as stated. Perhaps, the dove bridge adds to this.
Highlights
Quality
Well made nice sound and plays smoothly
Quick rundown of the features the body and neck are well made
The aklot finish was without blemish no dings dents etc
The less than stunning fret inlays for 5th 7th 10th 12th frets is not either
Price
So for the price it’s pretty good deal
The extra 10 for this kit is worth it for a single player beginner who is serious about learning uke
After all the total price is about the same as one hour of a craftsmans time or less
If you want a solid acacia wood ukulele but do not want to spend what it cost for popular name brand ukulele try this one
Shipping
The uke was delivered on time and as promised
I had an issue with my first shipment so they quickly got another on the way to me and my issue was solved fast and efficiently

I received a reply within 48 hours also a surprise with the suggestion to replace the battery

The use box was in additional box that helped to keep it secured
Bought for christmas gift it sounds nice
Competitiveness
There are so many ukulele makers out there and i tried sticking with a manufacturer that i thought was american
I heard it reviewed and compared with more expensive name brand ukes and it fit right in
Its price was just a little higher than the lanikai but bunch cheaper than the kala
