I've been wanting one of these since I heard about them, or they came out, not sure which. Hesitated because it's a tenor and I always struggled with tenor. Always preferred high G and my Kanile'a filled that slot perfectly. High G works for most of what I like to play, but some songs work better with low G, so I was looking for a tenor for Low G tuning. I got an Epiphone hummingbird about a year ago and found that I could play a tenor with a little practice, so after coming into some unexpected money (another reason I hesitated on the Iz) I was looking for a nice tenor. I looked at all the Hawaiian Big K's and didn't see anything that really struck me, so when I found a good deal on the Iz I jumped on it. Iz, is the reason I play the ukulele, a local radio station always used to play his Somewhere over the Rainbow/Wonderful World medley and I loved the sound, so that's why I first bought an ukulele.
The sound is amazingly loud and clear and the fit and finish is first rate! It came with high G, gray Martins, I guess. I immediately restrung it with Living Water low G.
