they are pretty nice. a few of us UU'ers already have 'em. They are amazingly loud for their size/thinness. nice and bright with the Aquilas that MGM sells 'em with. I switched to Worth Clears and Blackline LowG to tone down the brightness a little, but it was still a great sounding uke with the Aquila Nylguts.
they are a fantastic value and great conversation starter... although, I suppose, walking around with ANY ukulele would get people talking. it's just a tiny bit easier with these.
