My Makala tenor uke arrived on time and in perfect condition (packaged very well). Not a scratch or blemish on the finish. It comes with black strings, I think they are nylon, and held it's tuning pretty much right from the start. All the frets are smooth and the action is nice. Once I found the "sweet spot" it has a nice, rich tone. I also bought a Mahalo soprano uke, but find it a bit too small for me, and a little "tinny". I'd definitely recommend the Makala as an excellent starter instrument for someone who doesn't want to spend a fortune on a decent uke.

It came as a package. Sent on time. The bag they provide is a bit flimsy and it broke after the first week. Uke was what I was looking for. Tuner was a blessing in disguise. I am new to Uke playing and the tuner made it easy for me to tune it.
Use the case now just to keep it covered. Will be looking for a better traveling case.

My husband is a string musician. He loves all things strings. Each year he asks for a new instrument he's never played before. This year he asked for a Uke for his birthday. Neither he or I knew very much about ukes so I searched for an all in one package. I am so happy i chose this one. He loves the uke and stoked about the tuner. The strings go out of tune pretty easily, and the wood seems a little flimsy so if you're an avid Uke player you should look else where. But if you're a beginner or just a collector of all string instruments this one is for you. He loved his gift and I looked like a hero.
 Very Nice Uke But Flimsy May 12, 2010

When I ordered this I was practically dancing with anticipation for it to arrive, and it didn't take long. It came quickly and in perfect condition, however, when I opened the box I was unpleasantly surprised. First, the wood was unfinished, which I hadn't been expecting. It wasn't laminated or finished with gloss or anything, it's just the rough raw wood. The other thing, and I think this is the more important, it was very light, and it feels VERY flimsy in my hands. I wouldn't recommend this for young kids or careless people, because I have a feeling it will break very easily. One more thing, the gig-bag looks and feels cheaper that it looked in the photo. That compared with the flimsy lightness, I don't expect this uke to stand up to very rough conditions. That being said:
It sounds great. I'm not any uke expert, but I've got 2 now, and I love this one in particular. The strings are closer to the fingerboard than my other, which makes for nicer playability. I've had it for maybe a month now, and the strings are still having trouble holding their tuning, but not much, so it's not a problem. Speaking of tuning, the tuner that comes with this uke is PHENOMENAL!
Overall, I LOVE this uke. The size is perfect, and, like I said, it sounds great. I'm sure a more advanced uke player might prefer a more expensive/high quality model, but for me, a person who just loves to sit, strum, and sing along, it's absolutely perfect. I might try to find a hard case for it, then I could breathe easier knowing it won't get destroyed so easily. If you're looking for an inexpensive but good uke, this is PERFECT for you.
Great Buy, Very Happy June 24, 2010

Purchased this Uke as a new player and I am really happy. The construction is good, sound is great and loud, nice strings and stays in tune. The gig bag is well made and the tuner is great. This is a good buy for a starting player.
Now, only 2 weeks later I feel like I am making some progress.
When you get your new Ukulele, check out Ukulele Mike on You Tube. Great help for a beginner player.
