I have read a lot of comments but haven't found any in stores to play. Nice review on got a uke..........wondering about comments from users who have had them for a while. I own two MIM fender starts and they are fine . Most comments seem to be about wood colour and matching and this uke being bright. Wondering how it is as it opens up. Price and build seems good for less than $500 for solid Koa wood. I am wondering about comments about this TK1 vrs a Pono in same price range. I have and AT Pono solid acacia from HMS and I love it. Would TK1 be an upgrade?
