I'll start by saying I've been playing a uke for only about two weeks. I bought a Lanikia Limited Edition Amara wood concert and love it. I decided to buy a baritone, settled on a Woods Instruments because of the reviews and description, big mistake. First thing I noticed was no finish at all on the wood, dry open grain. I could tell the strings were junk by looking and touching them. I tried tuning it and a string busted, one of the tuners seemed to be slipping. The frets all had sharp ends. I took the strings off, filed the frets and put on a coat of lemon oil.That improved the looks. Tomorrow it gets a new set of Acquila's.
Going forward I will not buy another uke on line, certainly not a Woods.
