    Donner Concert Ukulele Mahogany DUC-1 23 inch with Ukulele Set Strap Nylon String Tuner

    • I anticipated having an issue with this useless holding a tune, but I am surprised how well it holds a tune now
    • But after that, with consistent (almost daily) tuning, I found that the strings would stay a little better
    • It's been played everyday for a month, it holds it's tune very well
    • It plays great, holds a tune VERY well
    • The tuning begs are pretty and once the strings have been played on for a while (nylon strings will lose tuning for a while) it holds tune for a while
    • This is a perfect ukulele combination for anyone who wants to have the best of the ukulele, from having it secure in its own bag to having a tuner to make sure it is well tuned
    • I purchased a Hola, a Kala, and a Donner in the same week and had high hopes for the Kala,since it was the most expensive Uke, however, the Donner actually arrived with nearly perfect chromatic tuning,and that is what I play most since the Kala still does not not play in tune as well as the Donner
    • Only issue is the string go out of tune much faster than any other ukulele I have ever seen
    • It holds the tuning well
    • So far, it's got a good tone, holds it's tune well, has good intonation all the way up the fretboard, and is well constructed
    • I really like the wood grain aesthetic of this ukulele, as well as the wooden tuning keys
    • After playing and tuning for a few weeks, it seems to hold its tune rather well.
    • When first tuning the uke, you might find it easier to use a keyboard to make sure you're getting those loose nylon strings on the correct octave
    • The Donner arrived with nearly perfect chromatic tuning right out of the box, and has a nice wide fretboard and meaty neck
    • It didn't hold a tune well at first, but as soon as it acclimated it was fine.
    • I found after, using the chromatic tuner THAT COMES INCLUDED showed it to be in near perfect tune
    • The instrument also sounds very good and the tuning is easy
    • since I like low / tuning I
    • Love the look and feel of the wood, tuning pegs, and neck.
    • Has issues staying tuned
    • I was able to tune it quickly and use it in class within a couple hours of tuning; it kept its tuning very well throughout class for an inexpensive uke!
    • Holds a tune fairly well after only a week and a half of semi constant use
    • Stays in tune well, holds up to my kids’ banging on it
    • It does not hold a tune at all as well.
    • If this were a ukulele company's review site, this would be a three star uke: a little thin sounding, not the best tuning hardware, but keeps in tune fine and no buzzy frets
    • Initially my top two strings held a tune well, while the bottom two would go out between a day or two break of playing
    • For the price you can't get a better ukulele sounds really good dreams that come with it after one day of use hold a tune very very well now with very very minor adjustments every few
    • Like buying a new bicycle, even the steel cables for brakes and gears need a tune-up once they've been broken in.
    • *don't do this at home* to see if the any expansion and contraction of the wood would cause it to lose some tune
    • I anticipated having an issue with this useless holding a tune, but I am surprised how well it holds a tune now
    • Well made and easy tuning.
    • Once I figured out my mistake I really enjoyed working with the tuner which makes tuning easy, fast, and foolproof.
    • Many people say that if you buy a cheaper ukulele, the sound might not be as good and the strings will go out of tune more easily, but this instrument sounds so beautiful and even when it was brand new the strings stayed in tune really well
    • I think the biggest improvement that could be made would be better tuning machines, but at this price point they are sufficient and seem to hold
    • Can't go wrong - worth paying a little extra to get better quality instrument, better strings and a much easier tuning machine - delighted with this - great seller and great price!!
    • She loves tuning it with the electric tuner
    • tunes easy, stays in tune well, sounds good
    • Like the other reviews, it won't hold a tune
    • Update: three lower strings does not hold tuning well
