   I recently purchased a Honu Traditional tenor and have found the sound, intonation, quality of construction, and attention to detail to be outstanding. Thank you for such a great product.

   It is very nice to see that you will be offering solid Mahogany ukes at a slightly lower price point.

   I would love to see you all offer a pineapple shaped uke in all three sizes (soprano, concert, tenor).

   Have you considered a longer warranty for your products? Ukes in price ranges that are higher and lower than Big Island’s offerings are available with longer warranties. With the quality and attention to detail you put into your instruments it would be nice to see that confidence reflected in a longer warranty.

   I have had nothing but bad luck buying uke’s from “Big Island Ukulele” I have had three and they all warp and crack. Beware this product is first rate garbage wraped in very expensive wood, too bad. Also, they are not made in Hawaii and Mr. Winkler isn’t from Hawaii either. The only thing Hawaiian is the wood should be a law against misrepresenting a product. Byers beware!!
