I was given one of these ukes in a concert size as a gift from a fellow uke player who likes to decorate them as gifts. She apologized that it was “just a cheap uke”, but I was impressed with the sweet sound of it and thought the quality was very nice!
I have helped many people find great beginner ukes and this Ulumac is on my list of top suggestions. I saw a coupon deal for the tenor and ordered it for a friend who was looking. I don’t think you could find a better deal on a quality tenor uke! It looks and sounds great, intonation is good (check for GCEA at the 12th fret) and comes with everything you need to start playing, plus a very nice padded bag!
I only have a couple of complaints but because the price of this tenor uke is under $60, they wouldn’t deter me from recommending it at all, it’s just good information to know. There is no battery included for the tuner, so make sure you have a CR2032 button battery on hand. Also, the tuner pegs on the uke are a little tight, but unless you go to a much higher price point, cheap tuners are the norm, and these tune up just fine. A new uke won’t stay in tune for long because the strings need to stretch, so play it and tune it often and in a week or so it will stay in tune. I tend to tune a new uke a little sharp each time just to stretch the strings faster, then just play it a lot!
I have seen some complaints that there is just one strap button on this uke, but that is because it ties to the headstock just like a guitar strap. You can add an additional strap button (included with many straps) to the neck, but many people don’t recommend drilling into the neck of an instrument-personal choice n that. While I find the included wide strap pretty plain, it’s soft and should make playing more comfortable. If you like using a strap, you can find many inexpensive, colorful options on Amazon.
Overall, for the quality, price, and accessories, this is now one of my top recommendations for those looking for a first uke, or experienced players looking for an inexpensive take-along instrument that plays great!

Excellent value for a beginner uke!

Amazing for the price. Better sounding and playing than my $250 Kala Tenor

My "All Solid" arrived double boxed and well packed. Visually, the uke is flawless. A few of the fret ends were borderline edgy (not enough to be annoying), but not razor sharp like many of the inexpensive ukes out there. The balance of the uke is so nice. Out of the box, this uke was property set up - the 12th fret was at 2.5mm. Just tune it up and it's good to go.
Playabilily is excellent - it's so easy to play and feels like an expensive uke from the music store. The sound is amazing from this uke and it has become my favorite over my $250 Kala Maca-T. It sounds better and plays better (to me) than my Kala.
I've owned some other inexpensive brands like Horse, Victory, Donner, and I also have the "solid" Ulumac (with the oval sound hole) and this "All Solid" model is the best by far of all those.
