Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I bought one of these ukulele's for a student demo - I have been trying several different brands, Rogue, Kala, and more. With metal frets and geared tuners, this is a very good value for a student ukulele. I was surprised how well it played too right out of the box. Painted ukuleles may be generally seen as inferior in quality, but this instrument would change your mind. Some of the student uke's I've bought have a smaller neck which can be a problem. Students generally keep their left hand at the end of the neck where it meets the head. This is something you don't realize when you are first learning, but your left hand can get crowded at the end of the neck if the head is cut to large. Especially if you have larger hands or longer fingers. And it came with an excellent set of strings too. I've had to replace the strings on all the other student ukes I've bought which can add $5-10 to the cost of the ukulele. I don't expect it to last forever but its a great uke to start on. And, for what I paid, I wouldn't be afraid to strip the paint off, put stickers on it or otherwise allow a student to "customize" it! I plan to record a couple songs on my orange creme Hola ukulele - you can go to Facebook and search UKE3.org if you'd like to see how it plays. Have a great day!
