I bought this ukulele for the kids. It was inexpensive enough so I am not too worried when they are banging it around – it takes a licking and stays in tune fairly well. The size is really nice for their small fingers. Sounds just OK – though I may try putting some nicer strings on it. Overall, for the price I am very pleased — and the kids liked it so much that I had to buy another one!

This is a review for the Mahalo U-30PK Painted Economy Soprano Ukulele (Pink).
For the price ($30 shipped) it can’t be beat. Free shipping via Amazon Prime. I got it for my 3yo daughter for christmas, and she loves it! I taught her the C-chord, and I play the G-chord… so we play the Moldy Peaches “Anyone else but you.” It’s a great little starter musical instrument, and a great beater uke that I don’t mind getting a bit banged up.
I was surprised that the frets were level and the neck was straight (well, good enough for a cheap uke). The strings are some kind of cheap nylon. I changed the strings to nylguts, and they sound 1000x better… almost as good as my other laminate mahogany soprano (almost). The fretboard is painted black, so I don’t know what kind of wood was used (I didn’t expect ebony for this price). I also sanded down the nut and saddle because the action was a bit high, and now even I can play it without complaining too much. It has geared tuners, not friction pegs.
It even comes with a matching polyester “gig-bag.” Now my mother wants one so she can play with her granddaughter. Overall, a decent play/starter uke and worth the $30.
