UK-11C Brown : Great affordable ukulele

6 years ago

I've been playing electric guitar for 8 years now and I decided it's time to get a ukulele. I picked a Harley Benton as I already had a positive experience with their electric guitars.

I'm going to rate this as if it was a guitar as I am no ukulele player (yet).

Build quality is pretty good. Fret edges are a little sharp but since the neck is so small i basically never come in contact with them, so not an issue.

Tuners are decent. I had trouble keeping it in tune at first (it kept going flat) but I believe that was because of the new strings stretching. It does stay in tune now so it was just the strings, and the tuners work fine.

Sound quality is good. Again, I come from the world of electric guitars so I don't have much to compare it to. It sounds fairly smooth, loud enough so that you can sing over it at a decent volume but not quite as loud as an acoustic guitar, it's somewhat in between a solidbody electric guitar (unplugged) and an acoustic guitar.

Overall I would recommend it if you want to get into ukuleles, very fun to play and doesn't cost much.
