Willie is awesome to work with. Once he was able to start on it, He stayed in touch with me almost daily asking questions to be sure I would be happy with the results. The only words I can describe it is superior craftsmanship, immaculate fit and finish. To me the sound is resonant and clear with a nice full tone. This is a loud uke. Just what I was hoping for. This uke is as nice as any I have seen. Looks gorgeous and sounds great to me.
