    • It is very good quality and, because my older child plays and could tune it, it sounds nice, too.

    • Strings could be better, but it's to be expected that the stock strings wouldn't sound as good as for example the Aquila strings.
    • The uke has good sound quality for the price and works as it should.
    • bought this for my toddlers and they like to play with it, not sure I'd recommend for a player as it doesn't hold tune for long, if you want to play you should spend a little more on a quality instrument
    • Was really bummed as I was looking forward to altering it with some quilted fabric to give it some substance and padding as apparently it is just thin nylon.
