I got the uke bug recently when I had decided to bring my grandmothers early 1920′s banjolele home from a storage unit we have a few weeks ago. I really enjoyed playing it tho the tone isn’t that great from the 7th fret on, & decided to purchase an inexpensive ukulele to relieve the stress I’m experiencing at my part time job right now. Seeing the deal on Amazon for this model,I decided to splurge on myself.(usually don’t do that around the holidays) It arrived today and I went about testing it. I love the tone-very sweet and that sweetness carries all the way up to the 12th fret. The neck has a great feel,and the frets are well done-no rough edges or uneveness. No string buzzes,the nut and bridge also being very well made. And it has dots on the side of the neck as well as on the fretboard…yay!! (Soooo important-I’m one of those dot players-I get lost without em.) Very good tone for such an inexpensive instrument. The finish could be a tad better-no glue shows or anything like that,it’s just not a high quality finish,but the whole idea of buying this model was to have something I could take to work without worry-and the better the finish,the more I worry,so that met my qualifications as well. I had to tweak the machine heads a bit-one was too tight,one too loose & was easily remedied with a small blade screwdriver to the screw on the back of each tuner. On the picky side,I was hoping the gig bag would have an accessories compartment & shoulder strap,but I can add those myself or carry my tuner & pick in my backpack. The strings are new,and stretch a lot just like those of a classical guitar. (I also play guitar,mandolin,and lap dulcimer) This would make a great first ukulele for a person of any age,or a take along model for those more experienced but wanting a “what,me worry?” instrument. Looking forward to playing blues,Irish tunes,1920′s songs in addition to classical on it. Right now I’m learning Yuletide carols.
