Product is as described! Shipping was fast and it’s a very nice colour and sound is good. Needs a lot of tuning but other than that it’s freat

You’re not paying the big bucks, so don’t expect professional quality. You will have to tune it a few weeks while playing it very often, materials and craftsmanship are according to price. Recommended for beginners

I am really enjoying my new Concert Uke although I have nothing to compare it to. Everything came as per the ad. I wish it came with extra strings vs. the finger thing (makes noise I think). The Uke has a lovely warm sound.

I am new to the ukulele and I found this to be a great starter. I learned to play the guitar long ago and this is much easier. As for the product itself, it gives off a great sound and has a nice look, all for a good price. The strings do seem to need to be tuned every time, but I have been told that they will stretch out and this won't be an issue any longer (this has, indeed, started to subside). For a beginning uke player, I would highly recommend.

What a fantastic little starter ukulele for $60! The gig bag had a small hole at the seam, but I didn’t buy this package for the bag. Would recommend.

Great Ukelele! It was my second uke, but my first concert ukelele. It works perfect for a sit on the porch day or whenever you just want to play it. The sound is great, but the picture is misleading because it says it comes with velvet picks, which is what your suppose to use on a ukelele, but it actually came with normal guitar plastic picks. That is okay because I usually strum with my fingers, and on the bright side my brother got new picks! Also the strap feels a lot cheaper then it looks, but I just went out and bout a different one:)

I bought 2 soprano uke's for my daughters, and fell in love with the instrument while getting them in tune for Christmas. So I had to get myself one too. The soprano was just a little too small for me, and I had problems with certain chords that needed multiple fingers bunched together (G7 for example), so I went for this concert size one. I am so glad I did!The look of the uke is fantastic, the sound is deeper and richer than the sopranos, and I was very surprised how quickly the strings started to retain their tune. Of course, you always have to tune it, but this one holds it better than the other 2 during play. It's a very pretty instrument, and you won't be disappointed by the look. And like I said, it sounds better than sopranos due to the larger size.The strings are the perfect distance to the frets along the entire neck, which makes it even easier to play, and it doesn't sound out of tune as you move up the neck. The quality of this uke compared to the other 2 sopranos from another manufacturer is superb! The only reason I haven't returned the other 2 and get them this one, is that my daughters wanted them in specific colors and this only comes in the beautiful mahogany color. But once they're over that and ready to move up, this is what I'm getting them!So overall, this is a great instrument at a great price, and it is a BLAST to play and sing along with!! I have played piano and guitar for almost 45 years, and have never had so much fun playing an instrument. And this will be very easy for beginners to pick up and learn to play. My piano and guitar skills really don't help with the uke, except that I already know the chords to the songs I play, and know how to strum in different rhythms, and that will come with enough time and practice to the beginner. But I've been learning a lot of new songs that I've never tried to play before, and a websites that I found very helpful is ukutabs.com to get the chords for a lot of songs. And to help tune the uke, ukutuner.com is perfect and free (although I did buy them a clip-on digital tuner, since keeping it in tune is the most important thing to sounding good). But there are a lot of websites to help you with your new uke, not just those. I love how uke players are so enthusiastic and helpful to others.And I did not get any discount for this 5-star review. I paid full price and it is well worth it. The carrying bag is also better than the one that came with the sopranos, and it has a strap which is helpful if I'm standing up. It took me a while to figure out how to attach the strap, and I had to google it! :-) It obviously goes around your neck, and then the other end goes behind the uke, wraps along the bottom, and the plastic hook gets attached to the sound hole. So it's not a very secure strap like a guitar, but is all that is necessary to keep it in balance if you're standing and playing, as long as you hold on with the other hand. And the picks are pretty, but I don't use them. I like the sound of strumming or thumbing better with the uke. Great job to ADM for making this high-quality instrument and keeping it affordable!

After digging around Amazon and other sites I settled on this ukulele. This is my first ukulele so I was looking for a mix of attractive and good sound. I had done a bit of reading ahead so it was no surprise in the beginning that it would need to be tuned frequently , like almost after every strum at first!! You could hear it fall out of tune.But its been a week now and the strings need just a touch of adjustment before playing. just takes time for the strings to optimize. I down loaded a free tuner on my phone, Pocket Ukulele Tuner, from the playstore. Works great, easy, for frequent tuning if you put it on autotune.This is a Beautiful Uke!, better than the pictures. it has a nice satin finish and a lovely shell(abalone) rosette. I love the way the wood glows when light shines over it. It seems very well made and so far, in my newbie opinion, sounds very nice. Sounding better as my playing improves for sure!The gigbag it comes with is pretty much a dust cover, no padding. I would not feel safe using this for travel. Have not used the strap yet or the picks but they seem ok. I do wish a tuner had come with the Uke. Over all I think this is a great ukulele, glad I got it. Will update in afew months.

Gig bag has mold spots on it. Picks are ok. Tuner works well. I don't use the strap but it's a simple strap. The Uke overall is pretty nice for the price. Good for a beginner. The strings will take about a week to get stretched out to keep it mostly in tune. Still, tune it up before every play. And with the clip-on tuner it's no problem.* * * * * * * * * *Gig bag has mold spots on it. Picks are ok. Tuner works well. I don't use the strap but it's a simple strap.

This thing has been played swinging in a hammock camping, on the balcony of a beach condo, reclined on a motorcycle under the stars, and nearly had the strings plucked off by several young nieces and nephews. The strings have never needed to be replaced, and the wood is holding up strong, even after being dropped, knocked, and bonked countless times.I highly recommend this instrument for beginners, and long-time ukers alike.
