After a long wait, my new Pono MT arrived today from Hawaii Music Supply. From the day I ordered it to the day it arrived was 13 days. Should have been here yesterday but I was out of work for MLK Jr. Day and they did not deliver. Package made it in great shape. Thank you UPS. HMS did there job also. Opening it up, there was lots of cardboard to protect. Ordered the Oahu hard case with it. Sort of wish I had not now. Wish I had gone with the nylon covered foam case. Oh well. The ukulele is beautiful. It is a little lighter wood than I was expecting but I have read that it darkens over time.Sounds good to my untrained ears. Definitely a step up from my Kala KA-S. My only complaint is ( and I am sure it was an accident) is this, I called up HMS to place my order. I was overcharged about $10. I ordered the Pono and then the case. On the website, it shows a package for the Uke, case and a beginners book for $10 less than I paid for the uke and case alone. (Just went to check this out and website has changed) No big deal. I emailed and told them and they were going to send me out two sets of strings with the uke that I wanted to try out on it to make up the difference. (Worths and Aquila) Worked for me. After opening up the package, there were no strings included. Other than that, I think I am going to like it. Think I am going to like the tenor size versus the soprano size. If I get brave enough, I might even post up a clip to youtube so you can hear it.
