Went to Fed Ex this morning and picked my new Uke up. I opened it up there to check condition then put everything back. Had to work all day with it sitting in the passenger side Seat right next to me. Got back to the office and opened it up. Gosh it is even more beautiful than the pics can show. Solid Koa top, back, and sides. Top and back look to be one piece. It smells wonderful. I finally got to play it a little tonight. I don't play well. Just began about a month ago. I play a little Amazing Grace and started on Simple Man tonight.
