Here's my Pono PKT-2E.
I'm always amazed at the beauty of this "budget" offering from Ko'olau. And not surprised that they went in a different direction after these - a bit too close to big brother? Whatever. I'm grateful to have procured this one.
The sound? Very nice, sweet and focused.. "chimey".
Finish? immaculate. Intonation? Superb! - and a very beautiful aesthetic with the ebony binding, rope purfling and abalone rosette.
