Great value

Great value for the price. Tuners needed lubrication (WD40), still a bit cranky, will try grease or vaseline later. Arrived in 4 days during Christmas rush, so I'd give 6 stars for delivery. Perfect tool to jam with my roommate whenever we want to.

Both for recording than funny purposes

The overall quality is very good, it is very lightweight. The strings are absolutely not premium made, and the tuning is not "neverending perfect" but the sound quality is gorgeous so you can use it for recording purposes too.

It is actually a best buy Ukulele!

Great value for the money

This soprano sized Ukulele will surprise the buyer for its attractive price and value. It may cost as a toy, but it is definitely not: it is a great choice for kids or any aged beginner.

Pros: unbeatable price, easily tunable, good intonation, gigbag included

Cons: none.

A nice ukelele to play around with. It quickly goes out of tune, but I will try to replace the strings with some better ones soon.

Besides the tuning problem, it is a decent sounding and playing ukelele for a razor sharp price. The overal quality was fine, no sharp frets on my ukelele.

aangename heldere klank!

PRACHTIG GEWOON!!

deze ukelele is echt een droom die werkelijkheid wordt zonder dat je er veel geld moet voor neertellen! De klank is zeer zuiver en doet je onmiddellijk verwateren naar de witte stranden van Hawaï! de ukelele zelf is perfect van grote en weegt bijna niets, ze ligt daarom perfect in de hand en is super eenvoudig mee te nemen! Zeer leuk om samen met vrienden enkele deuntjes op te spelen. Door de stevige stemknoppen moet je jou ukelele maar om de week stemmen zelf wanneer je er iedere dag 4uren op speelt!!

Ik raad zeker dit model aan, wel leuk eraan is dat het beschikbaar is in verschillende kleurtjes! mijn voorkeur ging naar zwart, maar bruin,rood,blauw enz is even goed!

Leuk extraatje: totaal onverwacht een gratis opberghoes met verstelbare schouderriem bijgeleverd gekregen! bedankt!!

Harley Benton UK-12 Black

A nice starter ukulele, products the sounds you would expect it to, and the finish is good quality. Bonus is also a gigbag so its very good for a starter player. For everything else aside that Im afraid you should spend some more money on something a bit more higher quality. If you re looking for something just to fool around with, then this is more than enough to keep your friends entertained.

Brilliant Uke!

This is an amazing first uke to get! Sound is great and vibrant, just what you expect from a soprano uke. Body is sleek and finished beautifully.

Just like most of Harley Benton's products, quality exceeds expectations for the price you pay. Excellent, definitely recommended for anyone, particularly those starting off their uke playing days!

Lovely little thing!

This is a cracking little instrument with the usual Harley Benton care to construction and finish. Great value for money as you even get a nice gig-bag with it.

It's cheap, so...

It is one of the cheapest option to have a begginer-level simply ukulele, so it is somehow not a big problem, that this modell is far from the best. The painting is good, the overall fabrication quality is good. Tuner keys are also in good quality, but tuning is not very precise and octaves are not 100% corrects. Some cheap Mahalo ukuleles have much better and warmer sound for small difference in price, so better to pick up those items. The added gigbag is good. So the overall quality is a mediocre 'not so bad', but to spend euros on cheap ukulelels, I think that every plus euros mean better quality.

Excellent value - good for kids and adults

I purchased this for my kids (5 and 2) to play around on. I didn't want to spend much in case it got broken but didn't want to be buying a toy prop. This ukulele does exactly what I wanted, I can tune it and play it for them easily. The finish is good so I don't have to worry about little hands getting nicked when they play with it. I'm not particularly knowledgeable about ukuleles but it sounds good to me. I've only had it a few weeks and it already got a big scratch from being left out on the floor, had I spent more I'd have been annoyed.

In summary, good value ukulele that I'm happy to play as well as let small kids play with.

Unplayable

I bought it as a toy for my daughter, but it's a bit useless even as that. It won't hold it's tuning for even five minutes and it's very hard to play anything on it...

most fun you can have for the price

I bought this one night after coming home from the pub, and it is the best drunken decision I have ever made.

As for build quality, I have two over-zealous young cousins who constantly give it a thorough quality check, and it has so far not shown up a single scratch. the black finish is perfectly painted, and all the frets and are nicely cut.

I am not much of a ukulele enthusiast, but it sounds lovely to my ears, what's an added bonus is how easy it is to pick up and play.

I have deducted a star because it's only flaw is that it doesn't hold tune, requiring to be tuned almost every time its played. but other than that? nothing. absolutely brilliant.

Cheap and good

This Instrument is very Cheap, but i have search about, and what i find is the best for the less Money. The ukulele sounds good after then tune and it have a nice look.

The neck is nice to play and the polish is orderly accomplished. The Strings are not so good they like the rest of the cheap strings of a classical guitar. But then you buy new one it is a nice instrument. I buy it just for fun to play a little song at the Camp fire ore after a long jam session. Its funny to play and a item anywhere to pack.

If you want an Ukulele and pay less money than Buy this Ukulele.

I hope its helpful and i think its wasn't a fail buy,

Greetings and let it Rock.

Can't be faulted for the price...

Cheap and cheerful

This was half the price of my last ukelele which eventually fell apart. Fine for an occasional ukelele player like me.
