Summary: Good price for a GREAT ukulele!
Comment: This was my first ukulele.. actually, it was my first instrument. It was very easy to learn and from there I learned how to play guitar. It is easy to tune and it has a beautiful sound. The aspect I like most about it is the looks of it though - it had a really nice finish and style. I recommend it to anyone who's looking into ukulele's on this site!

Summary: Nice instrument for the price
Comment: This is a much better sounding instrument than I expected for the price. It keeps going flat but I've been told that's just the nature of nylon stringed instruments until the strings stretch out completely. My previous experience is all with steel stringed guitars.

Summary: Worth the price
Comment: I've owned the Concert Koa for about 6 months & am quite happy with my choice. The construction and finish are fantastic. Tone is great even though I've read reviews saying that a laminate's sound isn't as good as a solid wood ukulele. Recently I started a group ukulele class and I can truthfully state that mine sounds better than some of the more expensive ones in the class. An excellent buy for $120.

Summary: About Musicians Friend...
Comment: Musician's Friend seems to have fixed whatever problems the previous reviewers had. I ordered this uke directly through their web site, plus the UC3 hard case and a Korg tuner, on Thanksgiving weekend and it arrived the following Friday.
As to the uke itself, I'm not an experienced player of string instruments so I can't really comment on the intonation or action. But I found the many reviews of this and other ukes on the Musician's Friend site very helpful, so I'd suggest looking there. This uke seemed to be the one in my price range with the fewest negative comments about playability, plus I liked the thought of the koa wood for a more Hawaiian connection.
I agree that it's a pretty little instrument, and sounds nice to my untrained ear. When I can play like Iz, I'll write a follow-up review :-)
