It's a model B-7 baritone uke. The tuners are crap, and if I ever get serious about playing bari uke or completely run out of other upgrades for my instruments (unlikely), I'll replace them. Otherwise, it's got a very nice looking mahogany body and a beautiful satin finish.
Sound

I don't know what a good bari uke is supposed to sound like, but this one sounds fine. It's just the top 4 strings of a guitar, so it sounds like a classical guitar.
Action, Fit, & Finish

Satin finish looks great. One string buzzes, but I think it's because whoever had it last accidentally put the strings on in the wrong order.
Reliability/Durability

Well it's an acoustic instrument with a satin finish and no case. As long as it's treated well, it should last.

I basically bought it because it looked nice, was cheap, and I don't have a ukelele. But it actually could be used as a classical guitar in a pinch. Seeing as I don't have one, it'll be worth keeping around. Other than that, it'll be a nice looking and sounding wall hanging in my music room.
