I got a new ukulele, the Lanikai spalted Mango Concert (SMC):
It is easily the most beautiful ukulele I ever had, it makes my Kala Curly Mango Tenor almost look ugly!
It is easily playable, the finish is fine (but not perfect).
The only real disadvantage I can find is... the sound.
It is thin and quiet. Not that bad, but not in the same league as e.g. my Excelsius or the Kala Curly Mango.
I bought it used (just a few weeks old), it came with Aquilas and a low-G guitar string (I think), all new, but neither Aquila nor Low-G are meant for me, so I gave the strings to my cats to play and put Worth on the uke.
Here's a little audio (and video) example:
The Long and Winding Road
