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!
