Uke killah

Its an amazing ukelele, sweet melowish sound. Beautiful fretboard. Only minus its that till now (almost 2hrs in my possesion it need every hour a tuning) I believe it will recover.

Perfect for a kid

I bought the white one to divert my son’s attention away from my electric guitar. It did work :)

More importantly, it actually does work but I had to take it to the luthier’s to have some minor adjustments done - strings were way too high and the uke was out of tune pass 3-4 fret.

Tuning stability is not great but again, I don’t think it’s intended to be a serious instrument.

I pick it up sometimes to practice tapping - it’s just around and sometimes even a short 20 second run cheers me up.

Good as a first instrument

If you're getting an ukulele you are probably a newbie in guitars or more accomplised player trying out new stuff.

For a beginner this is a real bang for the buck, it's fun and helps you learn. As for more advanced players who might be used to better insturments/guitars this thing is lacking in quality, sound and build quality as well. But really can you complain if you get a real insturment for the money and not just a toy from a store?

Either way cool thing to have on a wall at least if you dont like it.

First ukulele I ever had. Due to the price, I got two.

Another first for me, ukulele. For the price, $18 US, I had to get two.

Pros:

Right out of the box the ukulele looked pretty good. It is a built really solid. The bridge is really solid on very well on the body. There is no movement or play on the bridge. As I am a novice on the ukulele the sound to me was good. Tuning was weird (C, G, E, A) as this is my first one. Had to go online on the tuning and chords to get started. It is a fun instrument and can’t wait to learn song on it. Very solid in keeping it in tune as I had it for 10 days now and only had to tune it a few times as the string are new.

Cons:

None so far.

It's a souvenir, don't demand more

Loud, looks nice and looks like a ukulele.

Terrible handling of fretboard, and it is impossible to tune.

Very good for beginners

It is not an instrument you will use in studio but it sounds loud and bright.

It's pretty light but it also looks quite resistant.

The frets are good and there are no big flaws.

Maybe you can buy a better string set.

You can start to play music with it and have fun with friends.

ukulele

What can I say. I love this ukulele. It is so easy to handle and learn on. Wasn't expecting anything great at this price for a beginners ukulele, but this little beauty is fantastic for the price. The finish is good and it is made well. I put Aquilla strings on it and now it plays like a dream. If your thinking of learning to play an instrument I would suggest you get yourself one these and watch how much fun comes into your life.
