The All Solid Trembesi Metropolitan Tenor Ukulele looks great and sounds wonderful. I have it hanging in our family room. Friends visiting appreciate its looks and they love how it sounds when they play it.

I have enjoyed my new Uke with each time that I play on it with the group of Uke players on Wednesday evening called STRUM, in the Seattle area
- CCliffVerified BuyerRated 5 out of 5 stars2 months agoGreat looking Uke
Purchased after Christmas they ran an incredible sale. It was a great buy on a uke I otherwise would have hesitated to buy. Glad I jumped on the sale, looks beautiful and has a great sound and sustain. Play it daily.

Beautiful in sound and appearance. Solid indeed!
- MSMorris S.Verified BuyerRated 4 out of 5 stars3 months agoBeautiful appearance
The appearance is beautiful, the instrument is easy to play, and it sounds great. I would have rated this ukulele 5 stars if Kala had been more attentive to quality control. The frets on the board portion that is attached to the body were sharp and unfinished on both ends. It was impossible to strum without snagging the sharp fret ends. Fortunately, I have a small jewelry drill with very fine sandpaper drums. After removing the strings, the job took time and precision sanding, but I was able to remove the extra lengths without damaging the trembesi or the sound board. Thus, 4 stars.
