Mahalo Smiley Ukulele Green Reviews

A fun instrument

Bought this as my introduction into ukulele. Really liked the way it looked.

Out of the box it was really hard to tune and the sound was a bit hollow. After a while of regular playing the sound really improved and it was much easier to tune. Although it's never pitch perfect the overall sound is not bad and has a certain charm to it. Still enjoy the color and play it whenever I have a couple of minutes to spare.

The quality is not top notch, but is OK for the price. The tuning dolphins are a really nice detail, and work relatively well. The paint job holds up pretty well and is not easily damaged.

I would definitely recommend this instrument to a ukulele beginner. An intermediate player or advanced player should probably look for a more serious product. On the other hand this one looks so nice that you may be ready to overlook the pitch problems. The that comes with it is a nice addition, even though it does not have a shoulder strap.

All in all good value for price.
