Harley Benton UK-12 Black Reviews

Simple Uke

This is a simple made ukelele, but it works fine. Recomended for begginers.

Great for kids

Kids simply love this one. As for me, cheap, plays and does the trick with kids being happy.

Good Beginners Instrument

This Uke is a great beginner instrument. I bought this when I was still deciding if I wanted to persue learning Ukulele. I would recommend this product for young kids and as a 1st Ukulele.

Good for beginners

Quality is good, looks good. If you play with a good strum, it sounds great.

The product is beautiful and of good quality

Very beautiful, but unfortunately small everything in it is beautiful except for its size

Good option for an entry-level ukulele

I would recommend this ukulele to people learning to play, if they are not sure whether they would like to play ukulele in the future, I think this is a good option.

Good first ukulele

Bought it for my 3 y.o. daughter. String must be changed immediately, don't forget to order them.

Of course there are a few issues (e.g. dust under lacquer), but nothing crucial. This is very cheap instrument, so many things can be forgiven.

IMHO it sound better than you expect for this price.

Pros:

Price-quality ratio

Cons:

None (actually finish and strings but It might be a crime to expect something better for this price).

value for money, good enough sound

When you just need to have a ukulele, it's the best option. I used it not only for learning and playing, but also for recording purposes, for which it did the job perfectly.

Cons : It doesn't have a deep or resounding sound, as expected, and sometimes it may have tuning issues( it may be well tuned when you play open strings but when you play closed ones it seems not tuned), which could normally be resolved by putting new strings.

Overall, a value for money option for new players or musicians wanting to have a uke in their arsenal.

Looks ugly, sounds fine

Doesn't hold tune, the paint is damaged and blobby and the tuning pegs aren't properly attached. It sounds fine but it only sounds fine for 5 minutes before it needs retuning.

Had it for 2 years and it still won't hold tune.

Bargain Starter Uke

If you just want to get yourself something to get started on the ukulele this is a great instrument to get off the blocks. As always with such economy instruments they lack the finesse of more expensive instruments, but 'you get what you pay for'. Be prepared to accept some imperfections to the finish, other than that a sound and 'true' instrument.

Just buy it, We all know you want it

And if/when you end up buying this one and realise you didn't need it who cares. It's cheap, doesn't take that much of a space and it's much more easily hidden from a wife/girlfriend/boyfriend/significant other than new guitar.

Seriously though. This is a great little instrument to start learning new. For me Ukulele revealed to be incredibly fun to learn and you can basically take it with you where ever you go.

Amazing for the price

I'm not a huge Ukulele player, it's just something I like to pick up to mess around on.

However, for the price I'm amazed at the quality of the instrument.

The finish is excellent, it sounds as good as I've heard from a Ukulele. Possibly could hold tuning a little better, but it's certainly not awful in that regard and that's probably me nitpicking more than anything.

Put it this way, if you want a Ukulele at a cheap price, you would be foolish to go for pretty much anything else.

Great little Uke sounds good and nice quality for the money

Birthday present for my girldfriend

My girlfriend always talked about how much she likes ukulele, so i figured I'm going to give her this rather inexpensive one for her birthday. I was really sceptical when I ordered it, because the price was just too good to be true for an instrument.

It turned out, it's really just harley benton back at it. Sure, it's not really comparable to the some of the big names out there but seriously for that price... there's nothing even in the 50¤ range from other brands that I like as much which is really weird.

Pros:

- rich tone

- nice playability

- that unbeatable pricing

Cons:

- although very good playability, the frets are kinda sharp on the edges

- the tuners are cheap

- some small impurities in the finish

All in all, this was just meant to get her into playing an instrument, but I'm really impressed by the price to quality ratio on this thing. It's worth every buck, and the next ukulele I'm gonna buy her will be a harley benton as well.

Very sturdy uke - ideal to give to kids if they want to learn to play. Sound and tuning is not that great, so if you want to play more serious you might want to look at a less budget-friendly version. Ideal instrument to discover if the uke is something for you.

Nice one

Quality is not the best but is great for this price. Never tought it would sound that good for so little money :)

a very good uku for a start

it looks very cool and sounds ok, there is a little buzz sounds on the last hight notes but its not a big deal

Fun little ukulele

Fun little instrument with a price you can't beat. For this price ukulele is solidly build and it sounds decent. I particularly like the vintage tuners that look so cool even though it doesn't stay in tune.

I bought it together with a black acoustic so my 2 year old son gets the same guitar as daddy :-) but I can't seem to put it down for some reason. The is something nice about playing an ukulele.

Use: practice, fun

Pros: price, looks cool

Cons: tuners - doesn't stay in tune
