5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly wonderful!
Reviewed in the United States on December 1, 2023
Hard to express how much I love this Ranch Tenor Ukelele! This is my second tenor Uke and I bought it to place a low G string on.
The Uke is made very well, no rough edges, frets are nice, it looks good and comes with many extras.
The gig bag is well padded. The tuner is nice too.
The sound is amazing even though the depth is smaller than my other tenor. This must be due to the curved back and how they cleverly made this Uke.
The strings are high quality and thinner making it very easy on the fingers to play.
All in all I really love this Ranch Ukelele. Price was unbelievable with this kind of quality.

Short -- Very impressed with this product, great mid-range gift idea (for someone not too young), good introduction to other string instruments or music-making in general. Keep in mind that this model does come with a rather nice little gig bag to store/carry the uke in, but does not come with an accessories kit like other, similar models from Ranch Ukulele. Great customer service here, as well.

I have had zero physical contact with a ukulele prior to ordering this one, but a long-distance friend of mine turned me on to the concept of trying it out, since I have played instruments off and on for a hobby over the years.

I did a little research on ukulele quality, as I sort of knew the less expensive ones can be... a baby step into the musical world. I didn't want to pay out an excessive amount for a new instrument, either, not knowing how much I'd enjoy it. Regardless, I'm rather impressed by what I found here.

I assume I hit a sweet spot on quality and price. It's rather beautiful for such a basic design - simple, clean, and... I guess I'm a bit biased on the color! But I can't find any faults with the craftsmanship here, for the price point. I have heard of issues on lower-priced ukuleles with the tuners keeping the strings in tune, sometimes not even through songs. The strings that came with this seem to be quite a popular brand, however, and the tuners don't seem to slip.

I did have a few issues with tuning for the first several days, but I assumed this might be normal with nylon strings. After a day or two, it sounded just fine until I'd pick it up hours later, and after a full week I barely had to tune it up to pitch after sitting.

And the sound! I'm sure there is a distinct difference compared to more pricey models, but... I was really surprised after I found the right spot to strum on the tenor. I suppose I've been around far too many $5-10 "guitars" and "ukes" from the toy section... Regardless, while I'm not great at playing it just yet, I do feel like I can make -music- instead of just noise with it!

I do play some guitar, so I have a -little- experience with string instruments, but nothing to write home about. I was able to play some simple stuff from the first day, but considering the size, number of strings, and basic chords, I believe anyone could enjoy their first time with a ukulele and want to learn and play more. It would be a great gift for someone who hasn't played an instrument before.

If your prospective giftee is a bit on the younger side, and you're afraid they might be rough with it, I would suggest a cheaper model for now, just in case. If you feel they're old enough to respect any instrument as more than a toy, though, I feel this would be a great place to start!

Ranch Ukulele does offer "Free Online 12 Lessons" with this purchase, which is offered on a printed sheet coming with the instrument. The backside of this sheet shows 30 basic chords to get you started, but the rest of this offer is fulfilled on their website. Just something to keep in mind for anyone who might still have limited access these days.

The lessons and courses are quite fine, 12 lessons indeed, and as of this review, 7 song lessons on top of that. You'll soon find yourself looking elsewhere for more tips and songs/chords/ideas to keep you going, but it's definitely a place you can start learning.

All-in-all, I consider this a great purchase, and I'll be recommending Ranch Guitar to anyone looking for their first ukulele!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well crafted uke, great buy
Reviewed in the United States on January 1, 2024
I am a musician of more than 30 years and am picky about my instruments. That said, this is a lovely little use, well-made and sturdy. It stays in tune well and has a sweet resonant sound. There are probably ukes out there with stronger sound, but this is perfect for personal entertainment and a great buy for the money. I got my boyfriend to buy this for me for Xmas and was able to smoothly play about four chords after just a couple hours with it. I used the chart that accompanied the instrument as well as a You Tube channel for beginners. There are some lessons online that are included, but I haven't explored that yet. I look forward to being able to entertain myself and others with this pretty little portable music maker.

The ukulele's construction delivers a warm, clear tone, suitable for various music styles. Its size makes it comfortable for beginners while still providing a full, resonant sound. The included online lessons are a valuable resource for learning the basics and advancing skills.

This is a beautiful concert uke. It fell out of tune constantly for the first week or so which is normal for new strings - but it sounds great now and is a lot of fun to play. The color is absolutely stunning and the craftsmanship is great, especially for the price. We love our little uke.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for this beginner
Reviewed in the United States on March 23, 2024
I am a beginner player. I didn’t want to invest a lot of money into an instrument I was unsure I would stick with. After researching several options, I chose this ukulele in the concert size. It took a while to arrive, over a month from the day I purchased it, but it arrived in perfect condition. It is beautiful! Not as light as the listing photos show, but gorgeous nonetheless. I checked the frets and none are sharp or uncomfortable. It sounds great and has stayed in tune for each of my 1-2 hour practice sessions. The tuner works perfectly! I wish I had one of these tuners years ago when I played in my school orchestra. The ukulele comes with free online lessons which I follow in addition to tutorials on other websites. I may replace the strap for something a bit more my style, the the provided one is comfortable and durable. Overall, I am very pleased with this purchase!

This is a beautifully made ukulele. The price of this is amazing because the music shop my kid take his lessons at has lesser quality for far more money. It's honestly amazing and I'm so glad I took the chance when I ordered it. Honestly not a single negative thing to be said.
