Wow, this is being offered at a great price and havng dealt with the seller I can state that he keeps his ukes in pristine condition. Also as he stated Collings really does pay attention to quality control and they leave the fatory with no flaws. I have and play tenors and think they made less concerts too. So, if that is your preferred size you should try and buy this especially if Collings decides to stay out of the ukulele business.
