Fantastic sound rings out many compliments on the sound. Bought the triangle heavy metal one excellent also. Morelli/Santini/No Name all the same manufacture. All tuned GCEA people selling are calling baritone ukes because of the length they are tenors because of the tune.. Do not be afraid to buy. I purchased a Morelli F hole (Vita like) on ebay.

They were a professional outfit. No complaints with product or delivery. I'm an old guitar player and wanted to downgrade, so I was interested in a starter uke. This model does the job. It seems well crafted, stays tuned, and sounds decent. The wood seems to be an attractive koa. One odd quirk: It isn't a very large uke, but it tunes in DGBE which I think makes it a baritone. Who cares. It sounds fine. I bought a Morelli from a provider on e-bay about 18 months ago. They were a professional outfit. No complaints with product or delivery.

Someone recently gave me their Santini triangular ukulele: http://www.saletime.net/ukulele_oblong_boga_06.jpg Mine is black. I have read that it is very similar to the Skylark Triangular Tenor Ukulele: http://www.skylarkguitars.com/skylark-triangular-tenor-ukelele-1383-0.html and these Heavy Metal Baritone ukuleles on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/NEW-Heavy-Metal-UKULELE-Uke-Baritone-4-STRING-NEW-/290499883179?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item43a32470ab The thing that I am unsure about it whether or not the Santini can be tuned like a tenor. My friend said it was a baritone and it is strung and tuned to G now. I read that somewhere that for the size, the Skylark it is sort of hybrid. Since mine is so similar, do you think it can go safely to C or G tuning? If I were to tune it to C would you recommend I use these strings?: Baritone Aquila 23UU String Set: Key of C I can't find anyone selling the Triangular Santini's anywhere. Can you? Thanks!

It was a decent starting uke but definitely not something you want to invest in if you plan on playing long term. The neck ended up getting snapped in half a while back and so I'm glad it wasn't a nicer one. Ive since upgraded to a lanikai concert koa and was simply dumbfounded by the upgrade in sound and feel. bottom line. good uke if you plan on just screwing around every so often, or for younger children who might destroy it.
