I owned, and now my mom currently owns a similar LaPacific uke. It actually has a louder, woodsy tone, more like what you would expect a riverboat banjo to sound like. Compared to the Kala and similar such banjo ukes, the LaPacific is much louder and deeper than those two, without so much pluckyness. Of course, the natural, not so tight skin head has a lot to do with that.
This one may sound a bit quieter though than the one I gave to my mom as hers has a metal plate on the back (I guess you can call it a resonator) that seems to add volume to her uke. I played it with and without the metal plate for comparison.
