Take to school, lessons or rehearsals If you're going to be regularly taking your new ukulele between school, lessons and performances, you'll need a gig bag you can rely on.

Everything you need to play right away We've thrown in everything you could possibly need to get started as soon as you unbox your brand new Mad About Ukulele.

Review: Perfect First Instrument for My 7-Year-Old! - We bought the Mad About SU8 Soprano Ukulele in Red as a Christmas gift for our 7-year-old son, and it has been a massive hit! If you’re looking for an entry-level instrument that balances quality with a kid-friendly price tag, this is it. The Highlights: Striking Color: The red finish is vibrant and glossy. It looks much more expensive than it actually is and really stood out under the Christmas tree. Perfect Size: The soprano size is ideal for a 7-year-old. His smaller hands can easily navigate the fretboard and hold the neck comfortably without getting frustrated. Complete Starter Kit: It comes with a gig bag and a spare set of strings. The bag is basic but perfect for keeping the dust off and carrying it to school. Surprising Sound: For a "budget" ukulele, the tone is surprisingly bright and clear once the strings have settled. A Quick Tip for Parents: Like all new string instruments (especially those with nylon strings), it does go out of tune quite quickly for the first few days while the strings stretch. Don't be discouraged! After a few days of regular tuning, it holds its pitch much better. I’d recommend downloading a free tuning app or buying a clip-on tuner to go with it. Overall, this was the highlight of my son's Christmas. It’s durable enough to survive a beginner's enthusiasm but plays well enough to actually learn on. Highly recommended for any budding young musicians!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Does the job.

Hood value for a beginner. Kids loved it. Easy to tune. The extra strings and carry case a bonus. We'll worth the money. Bought for a 7 year old learning this at school.
