anthony: Great uke sounds phenomenal and was cheaper then what other instrument shops we’re offering it for. Definitely worth more then the price

Stephen R: The media could not be loaded.  The Koa finish and the inlays are beautiful. This is the first instrument I am learning to play, and I’m glad I spent the extra money for this model. Some friends got cheaper ukuleles, and they get out of tune quickly and are just not as pleasant to play. I’m always motivated to pick this up and practice. My only wish is that it had a bolt to place a strap. The ukulele is light enough that I have no problem holding it up without a strap, but, as a beginner, it would put me at ease to know I won’t drop it.

Cognitive Economy: This is a very nicely made, very pretty ukulele.
I'm not completely sure it's worth the high price tag, and although the soundbox is made of Koa, the difference in sound quality compared to say Mahogany is something I'm not sure everyone could detect.
The action is good withh the strings being not too high off the fretboard making chord changes relatively flawless. It's nice to play, and feels good and solid.

The pre-amp is a little quieter than some other semi-acoustic ukes I've tried, but the sound is crisp and clear with almost no feedback.

Overall a really nice uke, if a little expensive.

Josh: Ich hab die kleine vor ca. einem halben Jahr für 275 Euro gekauft. War meine zweite Uke, nach dem typischen 30 Euro Anfängermodell welches ich bis dahin ertragen hatte, kann Sie also leider mit keinen anderen vergleichen.
Sie kostet hier jetzt zwar schon 65 Euro mehr als das was ich für Sie bezahlt hab, aber das ist sie auf jedenfall immenoch wert.
Tipp: Bei Thomann kostet sie momentan 319 Euro. :)

Erstmal sieht Sie wundervoll aus. Das Holz hat einen dunklen, aschigen Braunton. Die Inlays aus Perlmutt im Griffbrett und ums Klangloch, und als Luna Logo und Schriftzug am Headstock sehen auch toll aus, und haben keine Lücken, wie ich es schon bei ein paar Perlmutt Inlays an Gitarren gesehen habe.
Die Saiten vom Werk sind Aquila, kann man also auch drauf lassen, der Klang ist super.
Lackierung ist Seidenmatt, was sich ja positiv auf den Klang auswirken soll.
Außerdem siehts toll aus und fühlt sich auch so an. ;)

Ja ja, Optik ist nicht alles, aber wirklich jeder der meine kleine bisher gesehen hab fand Sie schön! Aber den Klang fanden auch alle toll, und einige davon kennen sich Wirklich gut mit Musik und Instrumenten aus.

Verarbeitung ist...

Jacinto Ramírez: Vengo del mundo de la guitarra y este es mi primer ukelele, por lo que mi opinión es la de casi un principiante. Me enamoró el aspecto y tuve que comprarlo. No me arrepiento mínimamente. Las incrustaciones en abalone, el cutaway, la madera de koa, el clavijero, es hermoso se mire por donde se mire. Claro que la belleza no repercute en el sonido pero te hace querer tocarlo una y otra vez. En cuanto a los detalles técnicos, el preamplificador es básico pero correcto, aunque otras marcas incluyen el afinador incorporado. Mi amplificador es de mala calidad, pero enchufado me parece que el sonido es más que razonable. Tal vez el mayor pero es que la acción de las cuerdas es algo alta y tal vez necesite ser ajustada. El sonido es dulce aunque el volumen me parece no demasiado alto. Para mi próximo ukelele me gustaría probar la madera maciza (este es obviamente laminado), seguramente caoba y el tamaño tenor. Por ahora me gusta el Kala KA-SMHT, pero el Luna HTC Koa es una adquisición valiosa para cualquier aficionado.

B. S. Barker: Not had it long. Neck slightly narrower than my Puka concert and just took minor mental adjustment. Fret board seems a bit longer and possibility of playing more up in that region but I don't generally. Nice wood and finish and the mother of pearl inlay on the neck is a nice finish.Tuning keys seem a little bit 'dinky' in comparison and hopeful won't add to any tuning issues.
Plugged in it sounds pretty good. Small unit for Volume, bass and treble on the side. Used it at a gig and sounded fine to me.
Didn't make any adjustments to the sound to get it sounding good through a Roland Mobile AC amp.The only thing that lets it down is the bag which is a bit bog standard for a uke that's been made to this standard. Bit flimsy and thin. That's about my only complaint about it.
Nice uke

freezeframe: I own numerous ukes. It came today in a HUGE box; big enough for 3 ukes - then inside 2 smaller boxes within the large box = well protected. It looked more beautiful in person than in on line images-the wood grain stands out more than in the pictures. I was so surprised by it's good looks I think it actually may be solid Koa as there is controversy it's laminate. It looked/felt pretty real to me & I own other Koa/acadias's. Came with Aquila Nyguts which many mistake as the best strings. After 2 hours of play I can say it sounded better than I thought it would - a little muddy but nothing a set of Worth strings can't brighten up-even sounds sweeter than more expensive A/E models. (trust me I know) A great value for $220! KPK's solid acadia's are superior & their wood stands out more for same/less $$$, however, they don't have an acoustic/electric model so that's why I bought the Luna. KPK's come with Worth strings which I'm sold on. I would definitely recommend this uke to anyone who wants a acoustic/electric model & willing to change strings for more pop. I do not know of a better A/E model-even for $350 as I own one of those & this uke sounds better. Again great...
