I've never played any musical instrument before and this is my first one. I'm not an expert but my 2 and a half months experience with this uke has been amazing......-In the beginning, every uke goes out of tune very easily....and this one started staying in tune from the fourth day..... and this uke stays in tune for 4 days with heavy playing.-The size is perfect for you if you are tall. Like I'm 5'6" and this is the perfect size for me.- It has a great sound and it's body depth allows it to spread it's sound nicely(it sounds very pleasant)-Look wise.. its a beauty-evrything about this uke is just perfect- if you are someone with long hands...then this one would give u the perfect fret spacing- quality wise... its great- If you think of tenor to be too big in size... then you should know that this uke is just a little bit bigger than the concert ... not much difference. I imagined my tenor uke to be much bigger than it actually was.(I bought it from amazon...coz it's out of stock in Bajaao.... but the packaging was from Bajaao and they packed the uke very nicely)Overall ... I loved it . You can go for it if you don't have a special need for an Equalizer. It's worth every penny.
