The body is solid Hawaiian Koa and the uke has the PegHeds tuners, Koa saddle and nut, the vintage-style hardshell case is included in the price. In all, the quality is first-rate and with the case, for a solid Koa uke, it is really quite reasonable.
I'm not a particularly advanced player but I wanted to buy a soprano uke and went over the the semi-local store where I played 5-8 sopranos in the $150-400 range including the Ohana SK-38 and I have to tell you that the 1879 was head and shoulders above all of the others. Of course it's a beautiful instruement (matched koa front and back) but the tone and sustain were incredible. Yeah it's not cheap but in this case you get what you pay for.
I own four Anuenue's now (not including the 1879), and I've been very happy with each. If they only made a long-neck version of this, I'd be all over it.
