Ukulele UK-11DW Brown : A DIY Uke

10 years ago

Thsi is one of the cheapest ukes on earth, so what can you expect.

Out of the box this uke only gets 1 star. The strings are rubbish, the action is far to high, the intonation is bad. And the frets are a bit sharp.

But....if you are a DIY man/woman you can make a decent uke out of this. Invest 6 Euro in Martins M600 strings, lower the action and the intonation will get much better and so the playability. Smoothen the fret-ends and hereyou go: a decent beginners-ukulele for less than ¤25. Not the cheapest uke on earth anymore, but a decent one. Worth 3 stars.
