My 2 year old son loves watching me play the Ukulele and always wants to join in but he doesn't know how to handle it with care and I was not about to let him thrash my expensive one. I began searching for a descent ukulele for him to play for a good budget price. Since I have been playing for so long, no generic ukulele would do and would probably just annoy me. I can't stand those cheap plastic ukulele they sell to tourists in Hawaii. I really liked the reviews on this uke and the price is very nice too so I took a chance and bought it. IT IS FANTASTIC FOR THE PRICE!!! This uke rocks. For a 25 dollar uke, the sound is really good. It's not exactly all that bright and vibrant sounding but c'mon, it was only 25 dollars. I like that it is all wood and the sound is nice but my favorite things about this uke are 1: the action is very low. I love how low the action is, it's about the same as my 200 dollar Kala uke. 2 and definitely my favorite thing about this uke is the mechanical tuners. This thing holds its tune very well, of course it takes a couple of days for the strings to stretch out before it does that though.
Overall, this is a very good ukulele and I find myself quite often sitting and playing this uke like I would my more expensive one. I HIGHLY recommend this to anyone interested in learning how to play. The low action makes it very easy to play. The mechanical keys keeps it in tune and lastly, the sound is really quite good.
Take it from someone who knows a thing or two about ukuleles. If you're interested in a cheap ukulele to learn to play on, this one is great. Oh yea, and I've had this uke for about a month now and it has handled everything my 2 year old has thrown at it and it still looks great!

Most bad reviews focus on the tuning of this uke. It's a great begginer uke and, YES, it does not hold a tune for long. But youre not gonna be going on gigs with it. Getting it in tune is easy if you have some basic know how. Use an app! And keeping it in tune takes seconds before you get back to playing when it sounds off. I honestly go an hour so without retuning.
It's a little shorter than I had hoped, but it does the job.

I bought it for my younger sibling and they love it.
This is exactly what it is, a cheap ukulele. It's very light, the strings are plastic and it takes forever to tune. It's a lot of hassle but it's a good start for beginners

I purchased this ukulele two years ago when my husband asked me what I wanted for my birthday and I could not be more pleased with it! I am most definitely NOT a musical person, but have been able to learn how to play simple songs and entertain my family with ease. That alone is a wonderful and amazing thing to me! I passed the last month and a half of my pregnancy learning how to strum this little instrument and my nearly two year old daughter still adores it. This ukulele has been MANHANDLED. Between my four year old and my nearly two year old, it has been dropped, dragged around, carried by the strings, and tuned by children seemingly hundreds of times. I only in the last few days realized that I am still playing on the SAME set of Aquila strings that I put on it the same week that I purchased it. Even though I have to tune it constantly, they still sound pretty good. Once I get a new set, it will be fantastic! If you are looking for a great ukulele to begin with, this is definitely one well worth your money. My eight year old has a Hilo that we bought at the same time and my husband (a drummer and sound tech) and I feel that this Diamond Head has a much richer sound. The Hilo has also held up well, just for comparison. Additionally, it has spent plenty of time on the girls' bedroom floor...much to my chagrin. This is a wonderful little ukulele that is constructed well and is sure to please. Is it high quality? No. If you are an experienced musician coming from a top brand guitar selection, you may not be pleased with it because your expectations would be better met by an uke that would cost you $200+. If you are simply looking for something fun and small, you are making a great choice in this one. Happy strumming!

3.0 out of 5 stars Doesn’t stay tuned, otherwise fine

It looks nice and sounds good when tuned. It has to be tuned PRIOR TO EVERY USE and every 15-30 minutes while playing. I don’t know how it can loose it’s tune so fast, it could be because the strings stretch.

Great ukulele! Especially for the price. I was always interested in picking up the ukulele but wasn't really willing to invest a whole lot of money in it, since I wasn't sure if I would stick with it or not. I bought this product, and it arrived promptly. The finish is matte, and very nice. I've been using it for almost a year now and the instrument still looks new! Fingerprints don't show, and there are also no signs of wear or use. People have complained about it going out of tune easily, but that was not at all a problem for me. When tuning before playing, only minor adjustments were necessary. This ukulele also sounds very nice as well. Given that it is $30 and will not produce a professional sound, by any means, it still sounds nice and as you would expect from a ukulele. I highly recommend this instrument for any prospective ukulele players, or as a gift to young people. My 10 year old cousin loved it, and my 16 year old daughter as well. Ukulele is easy to pick up, so if you need a gift for Secret Santa or White Elephant, this inexpensive gift is perfect.

Oh, and the gig bag it comes with isn't bad either. It's very simple, just a soft nylon case. It doesn't do much in terms of protection, but it's nice to have in case you are wary of scratches or dust.
