It's a perfect instrument for beginners or if you just want to have a little bit fun.

All in all, if you want to "learn to play ukulele", get a better instrument

For the money, this is a really well-built instrument.

Good beginner instrument.

At some point I'll replace the strings with higher quality ones to make this a great sounding instrument

so I definitely think this is a better kids instrument

As music instructors, we thought this instrument would be fine for a 9yo to start on.

If you are at all serious about playing though, be aware that this is more of a nice toy than a cheap instrument

My daughter is trained in cello but picked up ukulele quickly on this cute instrument...great for beginners!

This is a beautiful instrument

It buzzes, the sound is very quiet and just really not a good instrument .

I would describe them as a good classroom instrument because they are of a quality that young students can experience learning to play, while I am able to relax and let them strum away to their hearts content

I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to parents looking for an affordable instrument.

You can't beat this price for a nice beginner instrument.

This has to be the cutest instrument....by far

What a wonderful little instrument

The bag is essentially useless and cheaply made, but the instrument seems fine for a beginner (I did replace the strings, since they were kind of hard on the fingers.)

This is not a bad entry level instrument, but you will want to replace the strings

I wanted a cheap instrument just to see if i actually liked playing, and it's really served its' purpose

Sure, it's not a fancy instrument, and I probably won't be recording with it any time soon, but it's great for practicing and having something to bang around

After a year and a half of frequent playing I moved on to a nicer instrument, but for the price this serves as a great, cheap introduction to the ukulele.

After spending many hours of searching through Ukes on Amazon, as well as a couple online instrument distributors, I finally settled on this one

Yes, I know it's a cheap musical instrument, but this thing absolutely will not stay in tune

Wonderful instrument for a noob like me

You can smell it), but with this wood and string combination, it's a nice sounding instrument!

Pretty little instrument, pain was smooth (I almost thought the uke was plastic!)

I LOVE my new instrument and if you're looking for a good, cute, starter ukulele look no

This has all the hallmarks of being a real instrument, just small (yes, it's a proper size for a ukulele).

This is a terrific instrument for the price.

But with my experience with guitars, basses, and other stringed instruments, I can safely say that this ukulele is a solid instrument

Remember that you'll be tuning your instrument like crazy the first week or so because of the climate change and the shipment conditions etc

It is so much better than a toy it .A good starter instrument for her.

This is an excellent and inexpensive instrument for someone who wants to learn a stringed instrument

All but one instrument, which happened to be pink, looked great.

I would say it's a great learning instrument, but if you've played before then it will just frustrate you

I wanted an entry-level uke in case I didn't like playing the instrument

We jam together and what not, great little instrument.

It would have been recommendable as a cheap starter instrument if not for the staining problem

This Ukulele is great for beginners and those trying to find the perfect instrument to play

They look nice and sound acceptable for an inexpensive instrument.

Nice little instrument, came with own cover, looks and sounds fine

Overall the quality is pretty good and it is great as a beginning instrument.

Very good instrument to see if the ukulele is something you would enjoy before busting out a bunch of money.

The guy at the music store said it was a really nice instrument once he strummed it a couple time after tuning

This is a great first stringed instrument for little kids -- it's light enough to hold easily, comes in all sorts of fun colors, and is a real instrument (as opposed to a toy guitar where the kid presses a button and the toy makes the music for her).

The instrument is worth its price, but ALAS, is it made in CHINA.

For an inexpensive, economy starter instrument, this is one of your best bets!

I'm reasonably satisfied, but if we buy another ukulele I will spend more money for a better-quality instrument.

My student used this instrument for under two hours and after setting it down carefully, under supervision, the neck split and is not able to be repaired.

This ia great little instrument

My husband is a musician and "toy" instruments drive him crazy, but he loves it.

It's just a toy to her of course, but once the strings get replaced, it's a cool little instrument.

Good little instrument for the price.

The ukulele is such an easy instrument to learn

My husband is a musician and "toy" instruments drive him crazy, but he loves it.

Overall good purchase and great beginner instrument.

It's a great little instrument for beginners, the strings are

This is a great first stringed instrument for little kids -- it's light enough to hold easily, comes in all sorts of fun colors, and is a real instrument (as opposed to a toy guitar where the kid presses a button and the toy makes the music for her).

It's a good instrument though for beginning

But if you're hoping to get a great playing and sounding instrument at this price, you might be disappointed and a little frustrated

We wanted a good quality instrument (that's actually playable, not just a toy) and a good price (just in case this uke fascination didn't stick)

This will be a good instrument to add to her collection

Very fun instrument for the whole family!

If however you know that you like playing ukulele already and are looking for a solid instrument, you can likely find something better for a little more.

I've had this little uke for awhile, and I've really enjoyed it - it does get out of tune really quickly, but it's been a great instrument to learn on

Highly recommend this instrument!

We jam together and what not, great little instrument.

It's really a great little instrument, especially with the good Nylgut strings on it from Aquila

Bottom line, you won't regret buying this great instrument!

I'm sending it back because I don't regard it as a playable instrument

This is a great little instrument; it has a nice sound and stays in tune well

Sounds ok, good starter instrument.

However, fourteen other instruments were fabulous.

Very fun little instrument

Our daughter seemed to like this instrument.

I just started learning how to play Ukulele and it's been a great little instrument to start on

With all of the online tutorials available, I would suggest this instrument to anyone who is willing to put in a little bit of practice

This is a great deal for the price (about $35)--attractive instrument, decent tone for a starter uke, very playable, and notes hold true to pitch all the way up the fretboard

Good Value and starter instrument

If it gets to the point where it's played so much the paint chips off and the fretboard splits, then it'll be time to invest in a better instrument

this is one of the best instruments i've bought its perfect for ukelele begginers and children i love this ukelele"!

All it takes are some small adjustments, a new set of strings (optional - but dirt cheap and easy if you decide to) and a little filing, and you've got a great instrument

Fun little instrument to mess around with

Great little instrument

Also, as a side note, ukuleles are easy instruments to learn and play

Pretty little instrument, pain was smooth (I almost thought the uke was plastic!)

Thinking about adding a instrument output so I can hook up up to an amp and play with my band!In short:Cheap priceReal instrument, not a toyGreat ukeLoud with a nice toneSlight sharp notes (not noticeable to a non musician)Great for camping trips if you don't want to bring a really expensive instrumentGreat for anyone that wants to try the ukuleleEasy to learn and playGreat cheap gift for any musician(no problems I've found with the tuners, they stay in tune about as good as any of my guitars)Great quality product at a great price!

it's a great instrument.

It's a good first instrument if you don't expect much or are testing the waters to see if you or your kid want to invest in a better one.

Great as a starter instrument!

If you have ever thought about picking up a cheap string instrument for fun, this ukulele gets the job done.

I got this cheap ukulele not expecting it to be a great quality instrument, but based on other reviews I thought it would at least make a decent sound

For such an inexpensive instrument, I find this to be a wonderful value and quality

But it's a solid little instrument that I find myself setting down gently rather than tossing in the back of the car

This ukulele is must buy for anyone who is looking for a decent instrument at a low price

A real instrument, don't let the price fool you.

Great sounding instrument, holds tune quite well, nice action and intonation too.

This ukulele, the Mahalo U-30, is a great little instrument, it stays fairly tuned, seems to be of reasonably sturdy construction and looks nice.

Wound up buying a Lanikai LU-21 for more money, but it's a much better instrument.

That's my only complaint, and the only reason I'm giving this 4 out of 5 stars is because one would have to purchase a set of nicer strings ($6 - $9) in order for this instrument to sound decent.

When I first thought of getting a ukulele I expected a good string instrument to have fun with

I'm upgrading to a nicer ukulele now that I have more occasions to play, but it really was a great first instrument

It's a good instrument to start with, easy to play and fun to be seen with (with cotton candy pink paint, it attracts conversation).

Kala makes a better quality instrument IMO--their starter brand is Makala

This was the perfect starter instrument and she played it regularly.

My students enjoy playing these instruments.

It's a really well-made instrument and a lot of fun to play

I would describe them as a good classroom instrument because they are of a quality that young students can experience learning to play, while I am able to relax and let them strum away to their hearts content

I agree with other reviewers that for the price this is a well-made, good-sounding instrument

sturdy construction and small size are very useful for the fun little instrument anybody can play around with

I feel like the instrument has practically played for itself, judging by the hours I've spent learning how to hold and strum it

Great instrument for teaching small children and introducing them to a love for making music.

The Pink Ukulele is the perfect gift for my 9 year old grand daughter, who is a gifted special needs child at the piano as well as other instruments.

Such a fun and easy instrument to play

They make a fun new instrument to learn, and at this price you don't have to worry about it getting in the hands of a child.

This is a very good learning instrument

It's a great little starter musical instrument, and a great beater uke that I don't mind getting a bit banged up

I think is a very good instrument for the money

It's a really great and really fun instrument!

The instrument is beautiful, sounds lovely (though you need to tune and retune the strings for a bit to get them to sit in place), and is, to my mind, an all-around great choice.

And for a another $10-15, you can have a really decent instrument in the soprano size.

She kept a clip on tuner attached to the ukulele all the time so, tuning the instrument wasn't an issue

You can't expect a super nice instrument for the money, but I am very surprised with how nice it really is.

Perfect instrument to start with

Very competitively priced, an excellent choice for a beginner, easy to play and much better starter instrument than the traditional recorder.

Realize that if you get hooked on playing one of these you will want to buy a better instrument soon

I usually don't recommend cheap instruments as starters because if they are poorly made, high action and false pitches can be frustrating

This instrument loses it's tune constantly

Probably fine for a younger child as a toy, but not a good musical instrument for someone who really wants to use a ukulele.

It's a cute, cheap instrument that's great for beginners

Great instrument for the money

This has been a great beginner instrument for me

Obviously, won't be an instrument suitable for professional musicians but perfect for home.

My grandson loves to play music and this is just the right starter instrument for a 4 year old.

so i know a lot about good quality instruments

I would describe them as a good classroom instrument because they are of a quality that young students can experience learning to play, while I am able to relax and let them strum away to their hearts content

so I just wanted something small and cheap to practice on before deciding whether or not to invest in a nicer instrument

It is not a "good" instrument if your looking for the highest quality out there.

More ornamental that usable instrument

it's a nice sounding instrument.

Good instrument

It's a cute, cheap instrument that's great for beginners

Doesn't stay in tune very long but what do you expect from an inexpensive instrument.

disappointed with the quality of this uke..i suggest spending more for better quality instrument

In summary, this is a fun, decent-sounding instrument that's good enough so that it's not a frustration to play, and inexpensive enough so that you can take it on trips outside and don't have to worry about it.

I bought my ukulele to learn an easy instrument

Not only does this little instrument make playing light-hearted music easy, it also makes me smile just to see it!

great beginner instrument, the first couple months tuning wont stay

It came out of the box tuned wrong but other than that it is a good little instrument to play.

The instrument looks good

Another of our kids plays a $120 Lahaina ukulele from Kauai that is a very nice, quality instrument.

I tried close to a dozen economy ukeleles, and this one stood out as a good quality instrument, even on the cheap end

But all in all, this is a solid instrument from my ammeter stand point

I would describe them as a good classroom instrument because they are of a quality that young students can experience learning to play, while I am able to relax and let them strum away to their hearts content.

I had bought this ukulele to learn off of- and all in all, it's a pretty nice beginners instrument

The unit definitely belies its price and is a very nice looking instrument

I plan to file down the nut and bridge to fix the action, but it's playable enough for now, and my ear isn't that good anyway to discern the sharp notes, since the instrument sounds so plasticky anyway

I'm a beginner player, but...it might be best to check out a better quality instrument.
