More than pretty, but also a little disappointing

This uke is an absolutely stunning work of art. The abalone, the wood, the arm rest area, its truly beautiful. That being said, I did return this uke for a few reasons. -The action is very high, particularly towards the base. -The sound, while nice, leaves a lot to be desired for a trained ear. However, had this been my first uke, I probably wouldn't have known the difference! -and finally, the tuning gears are plastic instead of metal. Again, not necessarily a deal breaker for all, but it was for me. Still... SO FREAKIN PRETTY.
