Harley Benton UK-11C Brown 5-stars Reviews

nice

decent ukulele for the price, does the job.

Worth every penny - but read carefully!

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!

Great ukulele for beginners

Bag is included so 5 stars

Great value for money

Good finishing, tuners and overall sound. Liked it. A friend of mine bought 2 to offer to the family also.

AWESOME SOUND FOR THE PRICE

Sensational quality for the paid price. Still paying it after some time and always happy with the results. Specially appropriated for teaching young children to play an instrument.

Perfect for beginners

Wanted to learn to play a string instrument during the global lockdown. This ukulele is the best deal I could’ve gotten. One year on and I still love the sound for a casual play time. Would continue to use it if I didn’t go for an upgrade. 10/10 would recommend.

exelent

everything is fine! Most of all, the quality of the wood processing and the matt varnish finish are pleasing.

Great instrument for that price. :) Delivery was very fast.

Love this little thing!

Can't really complain about this for the price. other than some rough frets. Nothing can compare to this at this price.

A great instrument for a beginner

I bought this almost as a toy for my 2 year old girl, but ended up playing it a lot myself. The tone is nice and bright, and for the price it's an awesome instrument. The intonation is OK too, although the action could be lower. Overall, a great instrument for a beginner and you cannot beat this price.

amazing price/quality ratio

unbeatable in its price range

for teaching children

I bought ~ 10 pcs. for teaching children to play. Inexpensive, good looking, it’s fun to hold in your hands. Easy to tune.

For smaller children I buy soprano ukuleles.

This may be first child's personal musical instrument :)

Ver happy Ukelele novice!

Excellent value for money.

Quality instrument, lovely sound.

Very pleased with my purchase, and have recommended to friends who have also purchased item.

Great affordable ukulele

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.

Cost benefit

A decent instrument for beginners, amazing price for the quality you get. If you are on a budget but want to buy a Uke, I totally recommend this one.

Great quality for almost no money

Finish is great, no flaws. The sound is very good, though I changed strings to aquila ones. Intonation and action is fine but it can easily be adjusted with a bit of sandpaper or files.
