I bought the Kahuna-S Turtle for myself earlier this year, and was very pleased with it. It is great for playing and also for recording. My youngest daughter is now picking it up too. So when I was looking for a birthday present for my nephew (who plays guitar) I thought he'd appreciate this Dolphin model (just for variety). He loves it, of course. (Btw, folks, if you play guitar, the uke is easy. Just use guitar top-four-string chord patterns and treat it like a transposing instrument.)
I just can't understand how they can make such a quality instrument—mahogany body, bone nut and bridge, accurate tuning machine-heads—for this price. But they do. Thanks, Harley Benton and Thomann.
