1st the cons.... If you hold it up to the light in certain ways, you can see some slight discrepancies in the finish. But you do have to look for them. For the most part, you will not notice them, so not really a problem. I am being picky. 2nd, the tuners are not as silky smooth as I might like, but well good enough to do the job. Again, being picky. They are perfectly serviceable, and for the price, just fine. 3rd. I'd like the lower bridge to be a little wider, opening the strings a bit. But that would be my preference. Again, picky. It is good enough the way it is. 4th, and the worst thing, is that the nut at the top is a bit high, making the string action too high and then a bit stiff and hard to play. A trip to Harbor Freight for some really fine files and a few minutes filing down the slots fixed that problem. That is called setting up the instrument, and that is not unusual even on an expensive instrument. Is it playable out of the box? Yes it is. I just wanted a bit lower action and the repair was simple enough. Now for the pros: It does look good. Sounds good. the frets seem to be accurately spaced. Some complained that the ends of some of the frets were ragged, but on this instrument, they were nicely tapered, so no complaints there. The fretboard seems to be very flat. No buzzing strings, so that is good. Some complained that there were position marks only on the face of the fretboard, but this one has them on the face as well as the side. Sometimes I feel that some reviews I read are for a different instrument..... Another comment I read was that there was no way to attach a strap on some instruments. But this one came with strap mounts, and even a nicely colored strap. Cool! It comes with an electronic tuner, (which worked much better once I installed the supplied battery.....!) and some spare strings as well as a polishing cloth. And of course, a perfectly serviceable carrying case that has a side handle as well as back straps and a pouch for those strings, a capo if you want one, and spare picks (which it came with). So the bottom line is, that this is a nice inexpensive 26" Ukulele that sounds good enough, plays easily, looks good, and comes with everything you need to keep it in tune and to play it. No directions, though. You need to get some chord charts and tuning charts if you are new to the instrument. Would I buy another one, or recommend it to a friend? Absolutely yes. Just a note, keep the tuner in the case with the ukulele. It will not fit in the accessory pouch.

The look of it is simply super high end, tough it is not solid wood it looks just as if it was all mahogany. Beautifully built. SOUND: Very clear and nice resonance from the woods which plays very well with an acoustic guitar in terms of volume. It is little, but puts out a nice warm yet Ukulele like crisp highs STRINGS: I have kept the ones that are on and they do match the additional ones that they sent out (which is really cool), again not a Ukulele pro, however the strings are holding up very well and after the first week of playing and stay in tune quite well BODY: For this price, SUPERB! It is solid built and I can tell it will also take on some beating for a while. The neck is beautiful with a satin finish which makes nice to slide back and forth as you play TUNERS: These in combination with the strings that it comes with have worked super well to keep the instrument in tune for days at a time only minor adjustments every other day, and good to go. PLAYABILITY: Right out of the box this Ukulele feels very smooth around the fretboard, the frets are well polished and do not catch your fingers, the back of the neck allows for easy position change. BAG: Sturdy, extra pocket with zippers for any accessories you might want to carry (tuners, strings, pics, etc.), and it has two shoulder straps sot that you can wear it like a backpack. Nice! EXTRAS: in most cases the “bundles” are a combination of a few cheap items along with the main Item just to catch attention. Not the case here, the tuner (of the same brand as the guitar) works super well, and the plus is that it can be used for any string/vibration instrument. I haven’t used the extra set of strings, but if they are the same as the ones that came installed, I am in good shape. The strap as a really nice pattern and works very well, it can even be adjusted to fit a smaller child. Also comes with a nice padded case. High quality case ..

This is my first ukulele, but I play a variety of other instruments. I hadn't been practicing my others and wanted a fresh new challenge so I bought this uke with a 50 credit someone gave me for christmas. IT IS AMAZING. It has a bright punchy sound, as spruce top instruments do, sounds wonderful, and stays in tune nicely once you get the strings properly stretched. In the beginning, the instrument is likely to slip out of tune. THIS IS NORMAL. It took about a week of playing and tuning every day before the strings stayed in tune and would be less than 4 cents from perfect pitch (1 cent is 1/100th of a semitone and the point where i can start to notice a note is out of tune.) I have had this uke for 6 months now and I still love it!!!! I am a little rough with my instruments. I like to wear my uke on my back, via the included strap, and walk around the house with it when I'm not playing (which i usually am). as a result i have bonked it into the wall or door frames more than a few times. Rarely does this bad boy slip out of tune even with a solid thump. I'm very impressed with the quality I received for the price. The case is wonderful. I actually found my son standing on the case and uke one time when we were moving. But it remained perfectly in tact! so the case WORKS lol

This Hricane Spalted Maple Ukulele is truly unique. The wood grain on this thing is amazing, so amazing that it almost looks fake, but I don’t care because it looks incredible. My son is starting to learn Ukulele at school so I got him this one since he also loved the look of it, and the school ones are the usual boring looking Ukes you see everywhere. I am really surprised at how good it sounds and the quality of the instrument in general. The fretwork, finish, binding, nut, saddle, they are all flawless. The setup is great out of the box with the action being around 0.9mm at the nut and 2.5mm at the 12th. I do my own setups on guitars so naturally I had to do it here, just because I can, to 0.4mm at the nut and 2mm at the 12th. This really wasn’t needed as it played great as is, but now it’s just ridiculously easy to play and still no buzzing. The price may be a little higher than some other Concert Ukuleles but if you like the look of this one, it’s pretty hard to beat. I, for one, did not want a boring looking Uke, and I’m glad my son didn’t either. The case is actually great too and getting a tuner and all the other accessories with it just adds to the value.

Su sonido, su tacto, su apariencia y manufactura, sus clavijas para afinar y cuerdas y hasta sus accesorios son inmejorables. Estoy encantado! Yo toco el piano y la guitarra y lo compré para facilitarle a mis nietos la entrada a la música. Maravilloso para eso! Pero me gusta mucho para mí!! Altamente recomendado!!

Sehr hübsch!

El único detalle es que la caja venía maltratada. Pero incluye todo lo de la publicación y en perfecto estado.

This was bought for my 81 year old mother and she is in love with it!! I have been looking on Kijiji for 2 months for ukuleles for both of us, I finally found a tenor uke for myself, but was not successful at all for my mother to find a tenor ukulele that was being sold at a reasonable second-hand price, the majority were advertised too close to the new price, even without a warranty or any retail support. We were both concerned about the idea of buying a ukulele on amazon, sight unseen, unplayed… so I read reviews here and on the UK amazon site. The reviews relieved us enough to give it a try. Mom's uke arrived 4 days earlier than the initial projected delivery date. It's wonderful, the case is wonderful, and having an extra set of Aquila strings to boot, wow. We both owe this great experience to the amazon shoppers that shared their experiences buying this ukulele. The amazon price was much lower than we would have had to pay in a retail store for a similar quality. The sound on this uke is great! The feel is great. We both think the finish is great and are a little perplexed at some reviews that said the finish seemed… unfinished….. seems to be an example of 'different people like different things'. There was no coppa, unfortunately, but it wasn't promised in the sales write-up. We are thrilled to not have to deal with non-musician, uninformed, rigid Kijiji sellers anymore. We're thrilled to have this beautiful looking and sounding brand new quality instrument with quality gig bag for significantly LESS money than we could find second-hand on Kijiji. Well done, amazon.
