I am a dealer for Eddy Finn. At first it was like learning a foreign language. For Example: mahogany means it is a laminate
solid mahogany top means the top is solid and the rest is laminate. All solid mahogany means what it says. That hold true for any of their instruments and any of the different woods. For $10.00, their shop goes through the instrument and does a set up on it, so when I get them, I don't have to do it. For $8.00 extra, they will drop ship to your address when you buy through any dealer. That way, you aren't paying for it being shipped to me and then from me to you. Their ukuleles come with a three-ten or lifetime warranty. Even the little Minnows have a three year written warranty.
I don't just sell them, I own several different models and sizes. I have to laugh every time I am playing my own instrument and someone wants to buy it right on the spot. Some come with Aquila strings and some come with less than Aquila strings, but they let you know . Often there are special sales to dealers. Just before Christmas, they had a buy one at regular dealer price, and get a second one free. Two of the models were all solid wood. In a situation like that, I sell the first one at cost, so we each get a good uke at a great price. They had a model 01 soprano that was the equivalent of the little Mahalo sopranos that wasn't as good as the Minnow, but, with good strings, they really play nicely, and sound good. They also have the three year warranty. I have two other lines --Lehua and Leolani --, but the Eddy Finn line is the one which is most often bought. I am impressed with SHS and how they do business.
