What's the deal with these? are they made in the US? Has anyone played or own one of these? This probably a bit of a stretch, but I thought i'd ask.

I've never seen one in a store, but I know they have been made in Mexico since the late 90's.

I don't know anything about that one, but I went to Hawaii this summer. I did some ukulele research, and I found that authentic ukuleles in Hawaii range from $600 to $6000. But in certain areas, some cheaper ones will be majorly overpriced.

Two well known brands here are Mele Ukulele and Kamaka Ukulele. I'm sure there are more but I'm not a uke player.
