I'm planning on ordering one just to try them out, it's nearly impossible to know anything about the quality of their product considering they are a new company. Wondering if you guys would like a review or have any reason to why I shouldn't buy from them!
 
I'd love a review of it! I was considering buying one myself until I laid eyes on my second-hand Leho ukulele. Have you watched their youtube clip demos? sounds pretty good.

The all solid acacia looks pretty nice in the video aswell.

I won a Sapele soprano from them about a month ago. I've been meaning to write a review but just haven't gotten around to it.

That could be interesting! Mind doing a mini review right here for us? haha

Overall I like it but it does have some minor issues. Biggest issue for me is it's very neck heavy. It has sealed geared tuners two of which were installed crooked; the moment I picked it up that jumped out at me. I've installed some Grover 2B's and that issue has been resolved but when I installed them the tuner holes were drilled very sloppily. Interior construction is solid but a little sloppy. I like the sound of it a lot. Sapele is a form of Mahogany (some builders refer to it as African Mahogany) and sounds very similar to my Pono MS. To my ear, the Asmus sounds a little deeper but very balanced. Intonation and action are great right out of the box. For an all solid soprano for less that $100 it's a great buy overall. I will probably end up buying an Acacia uke from them at some point.

Thanks a lot! I'm actually going to be purchasing the acacia tenor, ill hope it doesn't have the same problems you described. I'm happy to hear the sound is good though!
