My cousin came over and played many of my ukes and he liked my Wixom for it's rich resonation sound the best....a kamaka 1972 tiki came in second....well that's his choices...
 
you won't be disappointed. and shes a looker to boot.
 
That is one of the best looking ukes I have seen. I'm sure it will sound as good as it looks. Enjoy it and please post a video or sound samples when you get it.
 
Wow, what a lovely instrument. I am so impressed with Willie's work, we have one in our house and it is a lovely and great sounding instrument. Yes, you are required to put up a sound sample! : )
