I have played this ukulele in the music store. I liked it a lot. I liked it so much I was buying it until a super good deal came up on a second hand Kamaka soprano that I bought instead. I think the Kamoa E3 is well built, good playability, looks good and sounds sweet. Isn't a Mahogany. I think it sounds a lot like a Mainland Mahogany, which I think sound really good. Like I said, I would have one had it not been for such a good deal on my Kamaka. Go for it!
