Verified Customer
zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I have played stringed instruments for 60 years now! I have also played some keyboards and percussion.My Israel Tribute Ukulele is the best instrument I have ever touched in 60 years! The tone, responsiveness, sound projection and playability stand out above every instrument I have ever owned including the best Les Pauls and Fender guitars! The man has to look down from Heaven and smile when he hears me play his songs.
