Very Cheap Uke, But Cute and Fun May 12, 2010
Elizabeth A. Wiegard
10 out of 10 found this review helpful
This was the first uke I bought because I'd never played one before, but I really wanted to learn, so I opted for a cheapo one. I've owned it for a couple of months and I absolutely love it. I've named it my "blukulele".
Negative:
Okay, this is a cheap uke, and it certainly looks like it. The frets are painted wood, not metal, the paint job is kinda sloppy. The strings are kinda too high off the fingerboard for my liking, but this is a minor problem. The gig-bag is basically useless. It's so thin with literally NO padding, so I really don't understand why they even give you one, unless it's just because of the novelty of it matching the paint job. I keep mine in the box it came in so it doesn't get damaged. It's just as easy to carry the uke around with you than to keep it in the gig bag. The only use I could see for it would be to keep water off, and it doesn't even seem fit to do that job well.
Positive:
For its cheapness, this uke still sounds great, and it seems solid enough (good for kids who might be careless with it). Also, I was surprised by how well the strings hold tuning: after a few days, I rarely needed to tune it. This is something you can't see in the picture, but on the back of the head stock, the tuners are shaped like dolphins, I think that is absolutely adorable and fantastic!! This thing was so easy to play. All i had to do was print off chord charts and I'm a pro now! It's soo much fun too! This is GREAT for kids who want to try an instrument, or people who want to learn ukulele on a very cheap starter uke. The paint job just looks really cool, I mean who wouldn't love a powder blue uke! (The blue color is just slightly lighter than it looks in this picture. I will try to post a customer imaged).
Overall, I love this thing, it's so great. I'm contemplating getting another color just because I love all the options they have, maybe purple or orange.
Get this uke, you will be glad you did!!
Good sounding Ukulele February 20, 2010

I bought this Ukulele from Amazon. The glossy paint job is not perfect but good enough for me. The tuners work work well. The sound quality is surprisingly better than the Mahalo U50G. The Gig bag is a killer - it is silky and soft, with eye catching bright blue color matching the color of the uke. Very playable. String tuned after a few days of stretching. Good basic ukulele. Perfect gift for anyone.
Tropical fruits added to decor now!! June 30, 2010

I agree with all the previous reviewers, that this is a cheap, but very cute-looking, fun little ukulele.
One other surprise to note - mine came with tropical fruits painted on the body of it!! Pineapples, bananas, passion fruits, etc! And even a pineapple painted on the head, in the middle of the tuning pegs! Made it look even prettier I think - but may not be to everyone's liking... It's not just plain blue, as in the picture... I wonder if the other colors came with fruits painted on them too? Perhaps it's a new design? Anyway, makes it look very Hawaiian!!
