A review of the features of this ukulele:
1 Closed Gear Tuners vs the usual standard open gear
2 Strings – all strings nylon except for the wound Low G – replacements available from D’Addario and Worth
3 Bone nut not plastic - bone is harder
4 Fret ends – feel about the same as my other ukuleles
5 Bindings on the side of fretboard - plus
6 Side dots - plus
7 Strap buttons - plus
8 Neck and body joint is a solid glue joint
9 Veneer on the heel to match the bottom – nice
10 Bowed back - plus
11 Rosette - plus
12 Layered top and bottom (not solid) – common
13 Compensated saddle – improves intonation – plus
14 Bridge - ok
15 Truss rod – adjust if necessary; if the neck starts to bow
16 Pull through string installation – two videos on restringing.

17 The ukulele does not have:
a) Binding on the body – not a showstopper.
b) A pickup and jack – an alternative to having a pickup installed is the Dean / Markley stickon pickup.
