I think that's the store in the Sheraton. Not a huge store but definitely worth visiting.

Looks like it is based on the Kamaka Ohta-San. The scale size is between the concert and the tenor and has the bell shape. That model is supposed to be great for fingerpicking.

The store is good; I've bought a few ukuleles from them. Please post and let us know what extras they include with your uke.

BTW, there's a deluxe concert in another thread that's 20% off, I'd seriously look into that.
