 amazing ukulele for beginners February 16, 2010

I teach ukulele to elementary school children. I bought 50 of these of all different colors for the first time 5 years ago. The kids used acrylic paint to put their names on them and decorate them. One important note is that ALL new ukuleles go out of tune minutes after they are tuned and keep going out of tune all the time until about two weeks. (Even the best new ukuleles go out of tune a lot the first week.) These ukuleles STAY in tune after a month. Just be patient and keep tuning them. The more times you do it each day the sooner they will keep their tune.
Their tone is actually great even for me to play. You really cannot go wrong. The price another plus.
I did buy some extra strings since now and then the kids overtightened them and they snapped and broke.

This uku is perfect! It sounds amazing and it looks amazing too! The only downside is the strings are too farr aways from the uke itself so you have to press extra hard on them and that may strain fingers. Other than that it is great!
the perfect little gift! July 16, 2010
happy customer
i bought this for my boyfriends birthday and he absolutely loves it! He's been playing it non-stop. It comes with a same colored gig bag and i was very happy with the shine and finish of the wood, at first i was a little worried about the strings being cheap but i was proven wrong. although it took him a bit to tune the uke, it was worth it. everytime he plays it i'm surprised at how amazing the sound quality is! I couldn't be happier with this product. If i had the chance to buy a "higher quality" one, i wouldn't. i'd buy this one every time. the smiles this thing brought to everyone's face, not just my boyfriend but his family were priceless. And if you are really unsatisfied with the sound, you can always buy new aquilla strings for about 8 bucks. I'd recommend this to anybody.

I decided to start playing ukulele on a whim and was happy to find this economical instrument was available. I could even get it in my favorite color. It does need frequent tuning in the beginning but as I understand this is true of all stringed instruments. It's perfect for beginners like me. I was very pleased with my purchase.
 For the price, are you kidding? March 16, 2010

Okay, it's a freakin' $20.00 uke, whadda ya want? These are mass-produced cheap Chinee specials and you can't expect a lot, BUT...
They really sound pretty darned good after replacing the crummy strings that come with the instrument (use clear "Nylagut strings from "Aquila", or clear fluorocarbon strings by "Worth") and giving them time (and MANY tunings!) to stretch and settle.
The workmanship is as you would expect... you'll probably find a ding or a scratch or two on one of these, and it's a crapshoot whether you'll get one with decent action. However, the funky colors are VERY cool and a lot of fun. The sound on one of these is surprisingly loud and sweeter than you might think, and the intonation is not bad at all.
When I bought mine, I got it from a music dealer (and paid 35 bucks for it), but I was able to try out several models until I found one that wasn't bad. If possible, I highly recommend this over a "sight unseen" purchase, as some of these are definitely put together better than others. Either way, since these use nylon strings, it's not like you'll tear your fingers to bits even if the action is a bit high. One of these is a nice, cheap way to see if you want to continue "uking", and when you upgrade to a better instrument, you'll find that you still play your bargain colored uke, and that it makes a groovy wall decoration too! Uke on, cats!
