I love mine. Impeccable timing. I just posted a review in the review area that you might want to check out. Although new, I've tried a lot of ukes and it compares very nicely to pretty much anything. As I noted in the review, I strongly endorse the 35TS but would avoid the 35T based on my personal experience (my 35T and the other 35T's in stock all had fret issues, which is why I exchanged for the 35TS).
