I’m not picky on size, just looking to pick one of these up to give them a try. I haven’t been able to track any down locally. Thanks!

It's a big investment, but I have no regrets for buying my Moon Bird Tenor. It's a fabulous instrument.
As if anything you read online isn't true.
I'm sure this is legit, though.
I love my Moon Bird Tenor, and they really aren't that expensive for the quality you are getting. I would expect to pay twice as much to get similar quality construction, feel, finish and tone in a USA made instrument. They don't have a traditional uke tone (I have less expensive instruments for that) but if you are looking for clarity, chime and sustain you should be more than happy with a Moon Bird.
I think I understand what you are trying to say, but your comment could be read to imply that the Moon Bird is USA made, which it most certainly is not. They are built in China for a company based in Taiwan, using moon spruce from Switzerland and Indian rosewood, but were designed by Mitsuta Morihiko, a luthier from Japan. They are truly an instrument that spans the globe, but with a sound that is out of this world. (I couldn't resist that last part...)
The Moon Bird series is incredible. I own many ukuleles, that run the spectrum from cheap to expensive, from mass produced to custom built. My favorite is my concert Moon Bird.
I assumed in my response that the person who made this post already knows Moon Birds are made in China. My point is that it would be a lot more expensive to get that sort of quality in a USA made instrument. Moon Birds cost less because labor is cheaper in China, but the quality is on a par with very expensive USA made ukes. That's my opinion anyway.

They are legit. Kalei Gamiao and Corey Fujimoto are the new US distributors.
