I said the plastic has distinct advantages for a kid, especially a new stringed instrument kid - no warping, heartier

But then, again, it is what it is, a pretty nice sounding plastic Uke for less than fifty bucks.

Sweet little plastic uke

It's tunable, and holds its tune;It's easily playable, the fretboard, bridge, etc. are all quite functional;It has sufficient volume, not particularly loud, but enough to be easily heard;The tone quality is "plastic" but not unpleasant, actually better than I had expected;It's tough, the plastic is strong and durable and I don't expect any breakage or cracking problems;The darn little thing looks cute hanging on the wall

It's cheap plastic

It's not bad for what it is - a cheap plastic uke.

The strings are, as expected, cheap plastic nylon.

Great little plastic ukulele
