UK-11C Brown : Expected better since most their guitars are great

7 years ago

Harley benton has made some pretty great affordable guitars and I decided to give their Ukelele a try. let's start with the things that don't work properly first.

The neck is not dimension the same from the first to last fret, there's bumpy spots on the neck that one could easily feel when playing.

The tuners were cheap and also resonated with the open C string which rattles all the parts in the tuners and is louder than the actual sound of the instrument.

The finish is incredibility cheap, some of the stains were already rubbing off from just shipping and me tuning it. Might need to tung oil the whole instrument so it last longer than a week.

As for the good things what can you say about a 20 dollar ukelele, it plays, it gets in tune (but does not stay in tune) and should suffice for a child.

I would buy just to mess around with a cheap instrument. Not as good as most of their guitars and bass though so don't buy it expecting the same quality on their other string instruments.
