I agree with what's been said, they are great sounding nice playing ukes. I've had mine for about a year, and it's one of my favorites, although I usually don't care for sopranos the neck and fretboard seem quite comfortable to me and the body shape is easy to hold. I keep mine in a rigid foam concert case and it fits well, but do have an old pair of socks rolled up and put under the end since the neck is shorter, it just gives a bit more clearance for the tuners and headstock. I think fluorocarbon strings are the perfect match for mine.
