 For Larger Hands January 27, 2008

What a great instrument, worth the price. Must remember that baritone Ukelele's don't tune to My Do Has Fleas. LOL
Just a wonderful instrument.
Easy to play May 22, 2009

I really like this ukelele. It's easy to learn & play and compact & lightweight for travel.
Nice instrument January 16, 2010

This was a gift for an 8-yr. old. My son, who knows how to play, is teaching him and they are having fun.
Sized well for smaller hands.
Good tone and action for a uke.
Good to have the availability of the baritone instrument! (Soprano is too plinky.)
Amazon is a great option when the music stores fail me.

Basically I am still in the stage that lasts 1-2 weeks where (as in all ukuleles) the strings are still stretching, so you have to tune it constantly. However, when it is in tune, I find it quite nice. The action (how high the strings are over the frets) is good, the machine heads work well, frets are good, and tone is nice. At first the bridge buzzed a little on the e string, but after the sting stretched somewhat the buzz left. Beng a baritone, the sound is not as high pitched as the more typical concert or tenor. And nothing like the plinky soprano. So the sound is inbetween a guitar and a regular uke sound. If you were used to a Gibson guitar neck, like I was, it is not as wide as the four strings on a Gibson. So I'm missing a few finger placements at first. The less wide Fender guitar users should feel more at home. In all, not a bad first uke at all. Not a Stradivarius, but a lot better than most $50 guitars.
Sweet deal! January 28, 2010

A really sweet deal! I wanted something that was going to be easy to carry around, was reasonably well constructed and not a lot of money. I looked at a number of smaller guitars but they were all either too expensive or too shoddy. I then considered buying a standard Ukulele and found out that the bari uke is tuned like a guitar! After reading the reviews here I was sold on the Hilo. I could not be happier with my purchase. It also seemed like fate because I have the same last name as the first reviewer and grew up in the same city as the second reviewer. It has a real, non-plinky tone, is easy to play, keeps in tune, has a good, solid feel and is well constructed. My only cons are small ones. There's a small rough area on the lower front that feels like it caught the edge of a grinding wheel and the tuning machine on the B string is just a little crooked. Nothing deal breaking, just a bit annoying. All in all I give this deal 4 stars. I highly recommend it.
