Soprano Ukeleles

There are four common types of ukes out there: soprano, concert, tenor, and baritone. The soprano--or standard--was the original, and is the smallest sized uke. It provides plenty of sweetness and that instantly recognizable ukulele sound.

Mahalo U-30BU Features

Maple Construction

The U-30BU features a maple body. Used with Ukeleles, maple provides a soft but pronounced tone, somewhat mellower than other tone woods.

Nato Neck With Maple Fretboard/Bridge

This instrument uses nato for its neck, for added resonance paired with the maple body. The 12-fret fretboard and bridge are made from blackened maple.

Geared Tuners

Mahalo's gold-pegged tuning machines provide solid tuning, so strum away confidently.

Nubone Saddle

Graphtech's Nubone material is a great alternative to plastic saddles used in some ukes, delivering more volume, more tone, and more harmonics.

5 out of 5 stars Great For the Price   April 27, 2010

This is my first ukulele, but of course I have seen many others that are probably more costly than this one. The wood is obviously cheaper, but overall it sounds exactly like a $100 ukulele. Looks nice, and stays in tune. It also comes with a bag! I would recommend this for anybody thinking about starting to play the guitar/ukulele. The price allows you to think otherwise after you see if your truly interested in playing those instruments. I personally found out that I really don't want to play the guitar, and i'm glad that I didn't spend $100 for a guitar that I could possibly give up.

I actually got the black ukulele but they're all from the same company. This was my first ukulele ever and I kind of just bought it on a whim. Tuning was a pain (but this is the first time I have ever tuned a string instrument, so it's prolly just me) but the sound is great for just $25. The only real complaint I have is that your finger prints show up on the darker colors, but hey, it can't be perfect.
Great buy if you wanna find out if the ukulele is your thing!

It's a guitar. Not a Ukulele. I was so DISAPPOINTED when I so excitedly opened up the package and found out it's a guitar. I have been studying how to play the Ukulele and not the guitar for a while in anticipation for the package. The company's photos are LIES. It doesn't look like that at all. It's a guitar. Don't buy, they're deceiving you.
