Take it from me, a proud owner of Moore Bettah Ukulele, they are just wonderful. A really balanced instrument in all aspect. Of course everyone can see the detail from the pics and let me tell you, they look better in person. The craftsmanship is excellent. Gloss finish superb. No flaws anywhere. The use of various woods, bindings, inlays, to some may be too ornate, but in my opinion, very tasteful and not overdone...well okay, that double neck is out of this world. As for sound, again, very balanced with clear notes. It's not a booming sound, or the traditional "plinky, plinky", but one with good balance of deep bass and high trebles. String selections can be used to adjust this. Give them time to break-in or as Chuck said, "as it gets use to being an ukulele." If it wasn't Christmas, I'd be jumping at purchasing one of these. I'll keep saying that Moore Bettah is one of Hawaii's best kept secrets.
