Ana'ole ukuleles are a great buy for a hand built US/Hawaiian made ukulele. The builder was formerly with the G-String custom shop. Many years of experience. So far, he is not widely known on this forum and his ukes are still priced affordably. These are high quality solid wood ukuleles with a price on par with the imports...quality and tone is consistent and outstanding!! I would buy another of these ukes without hesitation if I was in the market for more ukes.
