Hi ya'll, I got this Melokia soprano pineapple and thought I'd show it to anyone who's thinking of getting one! It's solid Acacia, and if it isn't made by the same people making the KPK ukes, then it is a very good copy! The fit a nd finish is very good, and the only concern I have with it is the name inlay on the headstock. I think they tried to make it look like the MOP had a brown shadow behind it, but not entirely successful. The uke arrived with GHS strings on it, which I quickly swapped for Aquila's vastly improving the sound quality! Overall, it is a very nicely made ukulele and well worth the $120 including shipping. I did rub out the finish in the same way I did my KPK (auto paint swirl remover). I think it shows the grain a lot better!
