The Lanikai ukulele arrived today. I was really disappointed in the lack of quality. You can see in the picture to the left that the sound hole has ragged edges. There was a big blob of glue on the side of the third fret. The finish had a couple of spots in it. The action is too high and the intonation is slightly off. I imagine a good music shop could fix those problems, but I had already decided to return it and order a better quality instrument. After seeing it in person, I am reassured that I made the right decision.
I contacted Mike at Mainland Uke today and he assured me that the action and intonation on his Classic Mahogany Concert model will be right before he ships it.
