It was designed to have steel strings and tuned like a Mandolin.......though as anyone who has ever played a Banjo Mandolin knows, the steel string ones are near impossible to play due to neck angle, action, head flex and tuning impossibilities! HOWEVER, with the new head and nylon strings it rings like a bell choir and is a treat to play. I think any uker will find this little instrument to be a wonderful addition to their stable. GREAT GIFT for a ukulele afficiando. The nickle plating on the rim and j-pegs has some tarnishing All wood is in good condition. Tuners work fine. Nice May-Bell decal.
