Well packaged and complete. Ukulele in perfect condition as were bag, tuner, etc. It is exactly as described. The quality and construction are there even at the low price point. Very pleased with the item. Read more

This is a nicely built instrument. Workmanship is very good. Top and bottom bindings are very cleanly installed. Fretboard and frets have a good smooth feel. I haven’t closely checked out the intonation but it seems good so far. Tuners works well. Very good value for its price. Read more

Alright, this is an excellent Uke for the price. Sounds heavenly with felt picks. The case is also high quality and has thick padding. Ignore all the people complaining about the tuning. They’ve clearly never bought a string instrument before. The strings will take about a week to stretch before they hold tuning. That’s just how it is, with most brand new guitars and ukuleles etc. The frets are a little sharp, and the extra set of strings I received were not the Aquila strings advertised. Just Donner strings. They were also fluorocarbon and not nylon. So I am not even sure if the strings on my ukulele are the advertised nylon or fluorocarbon. However I do not mind so much because this ukulele has good tone, and is fun to play. The tuner is also very handy with the different modes, one of which is chromatic so you can use it for ANYTHING! I have had it for a good few months and I play it still about every day and there is no cracks or anything! Definitely a great starter/casual ukulele. Read more

I've been wanting a ukulele all winter. I'm a 67 year old lady who has played guitar for a few decades. Totally self-taught, and strictly a chord strummer. I'd put off ordering a ukulele, but a week ago, when I asked my daughter in law what I should get my soon-to-be granddaughter for her birthday, she said, "She's been wanting a ukule for so long!" So, I took the plunge, and last week I ordered TWO of these Donner Concert Ukeleles... one for my granddaughter and one for myself. My granddaughter has never had any formal training on musical instruments. A few years ago I taught her a couple of chords on the guitar but that's it. When I gave her the uke I had printed out the chords to a few popular songs I knew she liked and showed her the basics. 24 hours later she came up to my house and I was stunned at how well she was playing these songs! I, too, found it quite easy to learn to play the thing, although it took my brain a bit longer to "re-learn" how to play chords on the uke as they were totally different than the guitar. But she and I were playing duets! Our 37 year old daughter was visiting today. She wanted me to play a song on the uke. I did, and she wanted to try. She had piano lessons as a kid and nothing more. I showed her a few chords and within a half hour she was easily playing Vance Joy's "Riptide." She was so excited and wanted to get a uke of her own, so I ordered a THIRD one of these today. As for the uke... the case it came in is very nice. Comes with an extra set of nylon strings and also a digital uke tuner, which can also tune a guitar, banjo, bass, and a few other stringed instruments. The uke itself was the perfect size. I couldn't imagine trying to play the smaller soprano size, and I didn't want bigger one since I have a bigger acoustic guitar. When first tuning the uke, you might find it easier to use a keyboard to make sure you're getting those loose nylon strings on the correct octave. If you don't have a keyboard, you can find videos on youtube that will help you tune it. After you get them in tune the first time, it becomes much easier using the digital tuner. When you first start playing you'll have to be retuning those strings every few minutes, to get the "stretch" out of them. I found that after two days of playing, the strings stayed in tune much better than the first day. I love the sound of it. It's nicely made and an all-round FUN little instrument to play! The only thing negative is a very minor one... the directions that come with the digital tuner are so small you'd need a jeweler's loop or good magnifying glass to read them. I had to put the sheet on my scanner and blow it up 150% and copy it so I could actually read the thing! Since I had no experience with a digital tuner, it was essential to read the directions. However, as stated earlier, you can get help with this at youtube if you're new to them. So now Grandma, daughter, and granddaughter are hooked on this ukulele. Looks like there'll be some fun times around the campfires this summer! Read more
