UK-11C Brown : Worth every penny - but read carefully!

2 years ago

I'm a guitarist who wanted a ukulele to see how I liked the instrument so I ordered this, I chose Concert over a Soprano because I prefer the slightly warmer sound and larger range if I ever wanted to use it. I've played ukulele's before but never owned one, here's what I liked and what I didn't: The Pros: - The sound is awesome, exactly what I was looking for! - The setup out of the box was excellent and it was very playable (this is rare in this price point in my experience) - It looks beautiful - The cheap case is a nice addition The cons: - The fretboard was really dried out, but a little bit of lemon oil fixed that - Kept losing tune initially, but once the strings are stretched out it holds tune ok but needs a slight adjustment after every session, nothing extreme - Intonation beyond the 12th fret is not accurate, but only +15 cents so it's not terrible - Frets are really rough and need to be polished, but can be done yourself Overall a super purchase, for the money I'm very happy with it. For most people and use cases, this is an excellent Ukulele for the price!
