Hola! MusicHM-21BU Soprano Ukulele Bundle with Canvas Tote Bag, Strap and Picks, Color Series, Blue

I'm a sixteen year-old guy who normally plays guitar, but I wanted to try out ukulele too as kind of an add-on instrument. I got this as a Christmas gift from my parents last month. It's my first uke, so I wanted one on the cheaper side...but the instrument itself doesn't sound cheap at all!STRINGS: As other reviewers stated, the nylon strings do not come already tuned (tip: from bottom to top it's tuned GCEA). The strings wouldn't stay in tune for the first couple of days (which is expected because they need time to stretch and be "broken in"), but after re-tuning a couple times- they now stay almost perfectly in tune for long periods of time. Also an interesting thing is: I'm a lefty, but I had a friend take all the strings off and simply reattach them the opposite way and it works for left handed players! (warning: chords are different for right-handed players and left-handed players, so find left-handed ukulele chords online)UKULELE: The uke itself looks great and has no errors in its finish or in its build as far as I can see, and it sounds clean and crisp. It's also amazingly light in weight and easy to carry and hold. Other reviewers normally purchase the instrument for younger kids (5-13 years old), but a teenager or a grown adult can play the instrument too. And it's honestly pretty easy to play, especially if you already have some sort of experience with (in my case, a guitar) another string instrument.ACCESSORIES: Along with the instrument itself comes a black bag to carry it in. There's nothing special about the bag, but it makes carrying the uke around easier, and keeps the dust off of it. Three picks (red, green, and purple) of different widths come in a tiny bag as well. An Aztec themed strap comes with it, but I personally I don't like using it because of how it functions. I had difficulty figuring out how the strap worked at first, so I'll add my experience in the review: you clip the little black clamp on the end of the strap and attach it around the waist of the uke and to the soundhole and then put the loop around your neck. It feels weird and unnatural to me and doesn't support the instrument well (unlike a guitar strap) so I just don't use it.Overall I give the little uke five stars and would definitely buy again. Some examples of great musicians who use the ukulele are Tyler Joseph, Grace Vanderwaal, and Cavetown. Personally I love the instrument, and I'm a happy customer :)

Super cute and did the trick for my daughter’s first instrument. It’s durable,tunes great and she loves playing it. I love that it comes with the strap for when she wants to stand and play and I love that it comes with a booklet to kind of guide you in the right direction as a first timer.

This is a beautifully crafted instrument and the sound quality is amazing, much better than you would expect from something in this price range. The construction is very solid and the wood is strong and beautiful. Some have complained about the strings in other ratings -- I have found them to be a good quality and after one or two tunngs, they are holding their pitch very well.If you are counting on the free lessons (as I was), here is how it works. After your instrument arrives, wait for at least 24 hours to get an email from the vendor. Then you will have to respond and verify that yes, you do want the lessons. You will get an email the next day which will direct you to a site to sign up. At that site you will be asked for your email address and which instrument you wish to learn -- but then you will be asked for your credit card information. This is for "identification purposes only" and they say they will not bill you. This is before you even know what your potential charges are or how this system works. For those who do not have a very secure connection to the internet, I would advise caution here.But even if you choose not to take advantage of the video lessons, this ukulele is a good value. There are many places on the internet where you can learn to play, or you can even buy instruction books or DVDs from Amazon. Even with an additional cash outlay for materials, you are still ahead of the game and you're going to have a lot of enjoyment from this ukulele.

I am very impressed with the quality of this ukulele for the price. It definitely sounds like an actual instrument instead of a toy. I have had a tenor ukulele (it's about $150) for three years and wanted to get a soprano for a change in sound. Also, I wanted a cheaper one that I would be more willing to put stickers on and take with me. It came as shown in the picture, a pretty, glossy black, and obviously out of tune, but it's very easy to tune. I was concerned because it wasn't staying in tune for a whole song, but after tightening tightening the screws in the pegs with a screw driver and playing it a little more, it stays in tune just fine. I highly recommend this for anyone just starting to play the uke and for anyone with a tenor (like myself) or baritone and looking for something familiar, but slightly different.

This is a cute little yuke in a gorgeous blue colour. Nice sound for someone like me who’s just learning

Muy buena elección para principiantes 💕

La calidad es buena cumple su función por el precio pagado.

Mi niña lo Amo, le encanto el color, sin detalles todo perdecto.

I bought this for my 3-year-old grand son and he loves it! It is well constructed so young hands making mistakes are not critical. It stays in tune well and for the price, is quite good for a first instrument. Kids love the bright colors! I bought the pink version for his older sister at the same age, two years ago and their nightly concerts are a joy when I visit! Grandpa can play along with his ukes, as well. They make up songs on the spot so Grace VanderWahl, you can start a trio with these guys in a few years with tons of original songs!
