I ordered this ukulele based on the positive reviews, I liked what the company, Luna is all about after checking them out, and because this uke is just plain cool looking and has that "Island" feel to it. I have played guitar for over 40 years, mostly finger-picking and classical style, so I was excited to see what kind of music I could make on this instrument. I had never played a ukulele before but decided that a tenor ukulele would probably be a good place to start in terms of size and to be more playable for public audiences.After tuning it up and googling a cord chart, I was playing songs the first day and have even wrote a couple of songs since then. I can't say enough good things about this instrument. It's fun to play, has a pretty nice sound, and is right around $100. You can buy less expensive ones out there and I considered them, but I'm glad I chose this one as it feels like a great entry level ukulele. Some reviews noted that it doesn't stay in tune very long and I have found this to be true, the only negative. And it could be that the strings are not quite stretched out yet. Regardless, if you're looking for uke that not only has great style but sounds good, I don't think you'll be disappointed.
