Reviews around tuner (4.33 of 5)

(I got the least expensive electric tuner offered by amazon and it makes tuning a breeze

Does need retuning 2 or 3 times a day, but using an online tuner works well and helps me practice tuning

The tuners are very nice and make precise tuning very easy.

Buy a decent but cheap uke tuner and you'll be able to quickly tune up with no problem.

Action wise the thing is pretty good, I was actually suprised, probably could get it better by filing down the

The delivery was under a week and the finish and craftsmanship are impressive

The mellow sound and good intonation are belayed by really heavy construction and plasticky finish.
-
It is a Koa wood laminate with a very nice glossy finish.
-
It has a nice glossy finish, and the abalone inlay at the binding and rosette is a nice touch

The finish looks a little cheap: thick and shiny (but then it's a cheap instrument)

Reviews around case (1.95 of 5)
-
Get the battery operated little tuner...you'll be glad you did, and the nice carrying case (I bought Oscar Sxhmidt's hardshell uke case)
-
This is an extraordinary case- 5 stars +, I'd never get anything different.
-
Maybe not as good as the $300 koa I swoon over at the music store, but really clear and excellent and every note sounds like it should !
-
It was advertised and said the purchase included a hard case for the instrument
-
The uke looks like a custom uke costing 10 times as much, and the case is better quality than most soft cases for other stringed instruments.

About Oscar Schmidt Musical Instruments The Oscar Schmidt Company was founded in 1871 and incorporated in 1911
-
By the early 1900s, the company had five factories in Europe and a factory on Ferry Street in Jersey City
-
They made all kinds of stringed instruments, guitars, banjos, mandolins, ukuleles, zithers, and Autoharps
-
The company prospered through the early 1920s
-
Oscar Schmidt instruments were sold in many rural parts of the country where no music stores existed
-
Salesmen distributed the products far and wide, making them available in general, small town furniture and dry goods stores
-
Country guitar pickers and blues musicians living in areas of the South and in Appalachia, far from the city, frequently played Oscar Schmidt instruments because they were both inexpensive and available locally
-
But equally important, they were often chosen solely on merits of their superior tone and volume
-
Today at Oscar Schmidt, premium woods, quality hardware and modest prices create an ideal instrument
-
Each is inspected and adjusted in the USA by a skilled technician, your assurance for smooth fret ends, precision low action and resonant sound quality
