GK
Intonation on higher frets is terrible!
Grey Karma 05.02.2019
Use: I bought this as a cheap extra tenor uke.

Clarity: The body provides a good clear sound with plenty of volume when played acoustically. It has a bright rather than fat sound which I am ok with as it is a budget instrument. What I'm not ok with is an instrument that sounds so out of tune on the higher frets that I can't bare to play it any more.

Pros & Cons: This is a good instrument in terms of the price as it has a pickup with built in tuner. Personally, I wouldn't have any use for such a basic tuner (buy yourself a good clip on tuner instead) and would prefer if more attention was given to the intonation & fret placement as well as the action of the strings which is a little on the high side for comfortable strumming. This wood finish is really nice and feels very natural and much better than the finish on my over priced Luna High Tide which I will be reviewing soon!

Conclusion: If you are a beginner then this instrument is suitable in terms of budget, body size and the ability to plug it in to an amp or record yourself. I bought a Ritter padded gig bag for ¤29 to go with it. This case is excellent!
If the string action and intonation problems were addressed on this instrument then I would like to try out the upgraded version even if that meant a price increase.

Excellent Value Ukulele
Davey 06.04.2014
So pleased with this uke, the build quality & finish are excellent. Great strings & holds tune nicely. Built in tuner is excellent and would cost as much as the uke if bought separately. This is the 3rd uke in my collection - Soprano > Concert > Tenor.... guess it'll be a baritone next. I found some of the chords are easier to hold down on this size uke, or maybe my fingers are too big for the smaller models. like the sound too, a little more of the bass tones are evident compared with the concert & soprano. If it was full bodied (not cutaway) I think the tone would be even better. However,I recommend you buy this uke - you'll not be disappointed,

Money Well Spent
Raymond588 20.03.2017
This to me was the bargain of the year. I expected a good ukulele when I bought it, but did not expect such fantastic quality for such a low price. With its electro pickup, sounding great in any amplifier, it was in the price range of an acoustic only uke. I like the Tenor size. It is far easier to play than the smaller ones and has a deeper sounding quality. I've had this for well over a year now and the battery still has not run out. One little tip though. Make sure you switch off the tuner before you begin playing through an amp, as it cuts off all sound while it is tuning. This happened to me and I even fitted new batteries before I realised my mistake.
Terrific value for money and fitted with the best quality Aquila strings.

Blown away!
WolfmanAndy 04.11.2021
What a fantastic quality! My wife has two other ukuleles that are between 2 and 4 times the price and this uke plays just as well, is built as well and, at least while new, has a superior tone. The intonation is spot on all the way up and beyond the 12th fret. The only issue I have is that the frets are a bit sharp, but just the same on the other two more expensive ukes. A bit of light sanding will make this ukulele perfect. There are some beautiful features on this uke, inlay, binding etc., and great tuners, but the overall look is a bit ordinary. However I would not complain about that on a great ukulele!
