The strings didn't hold a tune and the ukulele itself was hard plastic, so it didn't make a great sound

Cheep plastic garbage

I should have known by the price, but even as a toy it would be useless since the strings are of the cheapest plastic, cannot stay tight or tuned, and the sound, when it does emerge, is pathetic.

So again - I'm confused as to how this is a 'Beginner Package.'As for the ukulele itself - it's ok as far as ukuleles go, but not as nice as the ones they have at the music store that would cost a little bit more.

This is typical for ukulele strings as well as for the higher notes on my folk guitar

The price was great as I
