- Baritone Ukulele, 30 Inch Professional Musical Instrument Ukelele for Adults Horse Uke Beginner Kit W/Gig Bag Strap OEM Strings Hawaiian Guitar Ukalalee Yukalalee Ukalele Yukelele

Myself and many of my closest musical friends all gave this Ukulele a lot of play since receiving it. They have more experience with one than I do. Overall, I was very pleased with this instrument. The packaging was fantastic, the accessories were a major bonus, and the quality as spot on for what I wanted in my first Ukulele. It took a couple days of playing and tuning before it really began to hold tuning long term, likely due to it being new and having new strings. The tone is absolutely fantastic plays well all the way down the neck. One of my friends owns a few Ukuleles and was able to compare it decently. This isn't a contender for some of the higher tier/price models out there, but it impressed him for the price point. The accessories were great for a new instrument. An extra set of strings is always great to have on hand so those were nice to receive. It came with a capo which will work for many different instruments, big bonus. The case is probably my favorite thing, I like the color, extra pocket, and carry straps. The strap isn't my style, but at least I'm not tempted to go buy one now. It also came with a few picks. I'm used to playing larger heavier instruments, this is my only issue with the Ukulele, I would like if it has some more heft to it. It's not thin and flimsy at all, but I constantly feel like I'm going to break it. Overall, I'd recommend to most anyone.

This would be my second Uke in my life and I’m impressed. Me being from the Pacific Island I’ve grown up with a lot of people from my family members that play their Uke while we drink sessions. So having the opportunity to buy a Left Handed Uke from you and finally learn how to play so I’m game. Quality is perfectly made(in my opinion) The sound is amazing Easy to tune I’ll say too good of a price to pass up Only thing that was missing was the Tuner but for the price and the quality I don’t mind going out my way to buy one. I’ll still give it 5 Stars

Honestly I was a bit hesitant, I have another uke from another company that cost twice as much. It's only half as nice as this one. I always thought my other ukulele was decent... Unfortunately I was right, it's only decent at best. This one on the other hand is excellent. It came quickly, packaged very securely, came out the box in perfect tune, and was equipped with all the accessories that anyone starting off learning the ukelele could ever need including a nice perfect fitting gig bag, strap, picks, a little chord chart, and an extra set of strings. The finish is solid, nothing fancy, but very well executed and doesn't take away from what this instrument was made to do... Be a very solid performer. This would be a perfect set up for any beginning player, a value purchase that will still be adequate as they evolve into a better player. It is of high enough quality that someone from Hawaii with 30 years of experience playing on and off such as myself is very satisfied. The only thing I found that could use any improvement is the picks that are included. They are more like a guitar pick, as ukelele picks are normally a bit more of a felt like material but seeing how I normally play without a pick this is just me being picky. All in all I really can't see how anyone could expect or receive a better quality product for such a low price. This would be a good purchase if it cost double. Very happy with the product.

I was sent the soprano ukulele to review from the company a couple of days ago. It is a nice little instrument for the beginner right out of the box. The construction is very solid and the string height is excellent. This makes it pretty easy to begin learning to play. Out of the box the sound and feel of the instrument is okay. To get the best feel and sound out of this ukulele I had to do a little work on it. I started by changing the strings. The installed strings were very dull sounding. This must be due to it being shipped and stored. It did come with an extra set of strings so I installed those. That helped this ukulele a lot! It made the sound nice and bright instead of muddy. I may put some high end strings on it at some point to see how that helps the sound. The second thing I did was take a 320 grit sanding block over the ends of the fret wires. They were not sharp enough to cut you but pretty close. Now they are smooth and feel great. The last thing I did was to correct two small construction blemishes. There was a small drip of finish on the edge of the sound hole which sanded off easily and the white binding on the bridge stuck out a little past the ends. I hit that with some sand paper as well and now it is flush and pretty. Overall, this is a great instrument for the beginner. It also comes with some high quality extras. The gig bag is beautiful and has a pocket to carry the extras. The capo is nice to have too but I would have preferred a clip on tuner. I think most beginners will get more use out of a tuner than the capo. At $54 it is a good package deal. Happy playing!

Amazing quality for the price. I was very surprised with the quality of workmanship and sound for the price. Intonation was spot on. I was more concerned with the playability of the instrument and the extras made a huge vake for the money. I ordered my fair share of musical instruments from Amazon with varying results but this purchase would be at the top of my A list.

First off this is the Horse Model UHC23 23" Uke, all mahogany, extremely lightweight and seemingly nicely appointed and constructed. Bare with me here as I am not a Ukuleleist so my demo playing might not give you much to go on. It comes with some accessories; a nice padded canvas case, an extra set of strings, a pack of picks, a capo, a small chord sheet and a nice colorful strap. This Uke would be suitable for a child or a beginner with smaller hands in my opinion. As far as construction quality it seems nicely done however the fret ends on this are a bit to sharp and would need to be carefully smoothed down. The instrument sounds as I imagine it should however being a beginner on this instrument you be the judge. The tuning machines are nice and secure and the fret markers are interesting, one being the shape of a horse's head. All in all I think this is a great starter Uke and you can get to playing right away since the instrument is easy to finger with nylon strings and pretty good action. If you are in the market for a lightweight, easy to play mahogany Uke this should fill the bill nicely. If you have questions I will do my best to answer. Thanks for having a look.

Just a little edit... I changed the strings and filed the frets and the soundhole. What a difference that makes. I don't know what brand strings they originally put on the ukulele, but they were horrible. Just plain Aquila nylgut brightens the tone tremendously. The C string still sounds just a little bit dull, so I'll probably try some adjustments. I'm fairly happy with this ukulele for $40. There are pros and cons with this little uke. All in all it's an okay uke. Pros: The price was good at the discounted price I paid. I wouldn't pay full price for it. The tone is really good for a laminate wood uke. Nicely padded gig bag. Well set up with low action. The tuning pegs and gears are nice. Really nice wide strap that I will use with my baritone, but not this one. Cons: The fret edges are sharp. They must have known this as it was shipped with sand paper. The bridge is set too far down on the body. It's difficult to rest your arm without either laying on the bridge, the strings or resting on the edge of the body. The edges of the sound hole are jagged and not sanded properly. I can't decide if I'm disappointed with this uke or not. It's just not comfortable playing for long periods with the bridge positioned like it is. I'll play it a little more before I decide. I will donate it to my local elementary school if I decide not to keep it.

The Horse ukulele is a nicely finished "concert' sized uke. Same tuning and chords, but a little bigger than the original "soprano" ukes and a little smaller than a tenor. Of course, at $49 including a gig bag, extra set of strings, capo, picks, and a strap, the body is laminated, but it is beautifully finished with numerous extra touches like a compensated saddle, sealed gear tuners, strap buttons, and a little "Horse" head inlaid at the octave, and is one of the loudest concert ukes I've played. There are a few oddities, like strap buttons and a strap which I've never seen on a uke, or the included picks which again are not used on ukuleles, not to mention the capo, something as well never used on ukes. Still, this in no way detracts from the ukulele itself which is both an excellent sounding instrument and a genuine bargain. I'll personally never use the strap, picks, or capo with the uke, but I will use them with a guitar. As to playability, my Horse ukulele came ready to play. Fretwork was clean, action low. What more could you want in a starter ukulele package?
