Review: Impressive! - I'm a complete noob to ukulele, though I do know a bit of guitar. I recently became interested in the smaller, nicer-on-the-fingers instrument, and did some research to find that this particular model is one of the most recommended and well-reviewed "budget"/"beginner" ukes, with some going as far as to say the sound quality even beats their much more expensive "professional" instruments. (I did indeed get such a comment from my cousin who plays when I let them try this one.) And that all checks out. I LOVE how this thing sounds and feels in my hands. The folks at Kala clearly care about the instruments they make. Though the images here don't show it, this uke also has a little nut thingy on the bottom that you can attach a strap to. However, the one on mine is a bit loose, can be twisted freely, and often rattles when I play. Nothing a careful dab of glue can't fix, I reckon. Speaking of glue, I did also find a couple stray drops of it along the higher frets of the fretboard. Again, nothing deal-breaking for me, especially for an instrument I bought on desertcart, but some more experienced players might find that a little detracting. That's all I've got for downsides, though. This thing is beautiful and it sounds like a dream to play. You can almost hear the waves and swaying palm trees when you strum it. I plan to enjoy it for years to come. The carrying case included in this listing is essentially just a ukulele-shaped backpack, soft enough to be squished into the tiny box the uke comes in, but for no extra cost compared to buying the uke by itself, it's more than serviceable and I'm glad to have it. Oh, one more thing: y'all really didn't have to ship it before Christmas for me! But it was very kind of you to do so!
Review: middle age with no ukelele experience - OK I bought this after looking at WAY too many reviews of the top ukelele for beginners. I am mid 50s with no musical experience beyond years of piano back in high school. My only negative is I wish I had found out about the joy of playing sooner. This ukelele is great. Here are two tips: 1. I would download the free app that comes with it. (I'm only giving details because I had no idea how to use the app.) You just open the app. Click on the "fork" symbol. Say yes when it asks to access your microphone. Then tap on the letter of the string you want to tune. They are clearly marked on the phone. You don't have to already know which is which. Then strum that one string, and it shows you on your phone if it is too low, too high, or in tune. After it shows in tune, then tap on the next letter for the string you want to tune. It isn't the highest rated app for tuning, and I may switch to that one, but it seems to work well for someone new like me that had no idea what the strings should sound like. I have read a lot that the strings will go out of tune often in the first two weeks until they stretch. I only got my ukelele four days ago so I still have one string that easily goes out of tune. 2. Don't panic when it says the app expires in four days and get upset. You STILL get to tune with the app for free after four days, which is all I want to do. I am not advanced enough to want access to a lot of songs. 3. Pull up Cynthia Lin ukelele lessons on Youtube. I am still working on the first lessons, but you can definitely download the first six lessons for free. She starts with how to hold and strum it. By 48 hours I could play the basic chords for Three Little Birds by Bob Marley. Having no experience, I was pretty pumped. I am now working on her lesson 2 which builds on those chords and adds two more. It is amazing what is available for free, and she literally moves you very slowly through how to play it. The funny thing is I had it 24 hours and was sitting there playing those three chords for the first song, and my son said he asked the music teacher at school if his mom could play the ukelele for the school Christmas program. I'm still laughing about it. You won't be that good.. trust me.. but it is amazing how easily you can pick it up. This is a very inexpensive, fun hobby. Good luck!
