I love my new Luna, Vista deer concert ukulele. It truly is a beautiful, work of art and a labor of love. I own many ukuleles and have purchased many ukuleles to give as gifts, but none of them compare with this beauty! I had been worried how it would travel, and when I saw it packaged only in the manufacture's box, my heart sank, I am very thankful for the wonderful, heavy padded gig bag that Luna packed it in, it protected it on it's long journey, and also for the care that the delivery people must have given it. This ukulele is exquisite in every way. The wood is gorgeous and the design is breath-taking. I have admired the vista ukuleles for quite a while, when I met a young woman with the guitar version of the same design, I fell in love with it, I could see it was of outstanding quality. I had since been on the look out for the ukulele version. I never thought I could afford one. My husband told me to go ahead and buy it, when I "found" this one. It is so beautiful to look at, it is definitely art. I tuned it and played it acoustically for a while and it sounded very lovely, but when I plugged it in, I was blown away. I have a few electric ukuleles, they sounded alright to me, but the fishman kula pre-amp is a game changer. I couldn't believe the sound coming out of my little amplifier, before I thought maybe my amp wasn't very good, I think now the difference is in ukuleles pre-amps. Mine did come with one strap button, that wasn't pictured in the product description pictures. I am pleased with that. I was nervous about installing one myself, now I don't need to.
