3. Why we make plastic ukuleles?
Reason 1. There were many quality and copy products problems with Chinese instrument
Factories so, we decided to clear this kind of problems by making plastic version ukuleles.

Reason2. We want to make our company’s position good sounding plastic ukulele maker In the world.
Reason3. We can secure production Q’ty by getting funding and pre-order.
