Tenor Ukulele, KOA Acacia Wood 26 inch Adults Professional Ukelele for Beginners, Hawaiian Ukele Kit with Replacing Strings, Tuner, Gig Bag, Strap, Guitar Picks, Cleaning Cloth, Classic Style

I was given one of these ukes in a concert size as a gift from a fellow uke player who likes to decorate them as gifts. She apologized that it was “just a cheap uke”, but I was impressed with the sweet sound of it and thought the quality was very nice!I have helped many people find great beginner ukes and this Ulumac is on my list of top suggestions. I saw a coupon deal for the tenor and ordered it for a friend who was looking. I don’t think you could find a better deal on a quality tenor uke! It looks and sounds great, intonation is good (check for GCEA at the 12th fret) and comes with everything you need to start playing, plus a very nice padded bag!I only have a couple of complaints but because the price of this tenor uke is under $60, they wouldn’t deter me from recommending it at all, it’s just good information to know. There is no battery included for the tuner, so make sure you have a CR2032 button battery on hand. Also, the tuner pegs on the uke are a little tight, but unless you go to a much higher price point, cheap tuners are the norm, and these tune up just fine. A new uke won’t stay in tune for long because the strings need to stretch, so play it and tune it often and in a week or so it will stay in tune. I tend to tune a new uke a little sharp each time just to stretch the strings faster, then just play it a lot!I have seen some complaints that there is just one strap button on this uke, but that is because it ties to the headstock just like a guitar strap. You can add an additional strap button (included with many straps) to the neck, but many people don’t recommend drilling into the neck of an instrument-personal choice n that. While I find the included wide strap pretty plain, it’s soft and should make playing more comfortable. If you like using a strap, you can find many inexpensive, colorful options on Amazon.Overall, for the quality, price, and accessories, this is now one of my top recommendations for those looking for a first uke, or experienced players looking for an inexpensive take-along instrument that plays great!

Solid top, curved back, PLUS ALL the extras - at the best price.This is a perfect ukelele for a beginner uke player like me. A fickle musician, I like to start out at a low price and find an intermediate sound. This fit the bill! Tenor size, larger sound. Easier for larger people to handle with ease.*What you need to know about buying ANY stringed instrument.All strings need to be stretched. Especially nylon and nylon style strings. Nylon slips.IF YOU DO NOT STRETCH this SET OF NEW STRINGS -YOUR UKE will NOT STAY in tune. That's what I call user error. Don't fault the instrument!!As the owner of a new uke, find VIDEO about stretching new ukelele strings. DO THAT carefully. LEARN. After a day of special attention, your uke will stay in tune just fine. Again, uke strings slip by nature - that's why they come with the tuner!! *Stretching new strings will keep you playing all day with minimal tuning.*The strap is FINE. Google how to attach a ukelele strap to prevent user error.*The tuner is as stated. NO battery. Not a problem! Do you have an LED candle? Steal the metal button out of it. Have a junk drawer? Find the metal buttons that look like a coin. Odds are you HAVE the battery that looks like a metal button or magnet at home. The tuner is EXCELLENT. And necessary.I had an issue when the ukelele arrived and the very attentive seller solved it right away.I am very happy with this purchase.When you don't find these tenor specs for an affordable price, come back!! It's that good.

I raised my rating one star.I've got to say, Ulumac is a fantastic company to deal with!If based on there customer service alone, I would have given a full 5 star rating! Still one off for sharp frets.After my review, they reached out and issued a total refund without requiring a return.I did not send them any messages.They simply took the initiative to reach it to me after reading my review.If that was't enough, they sent another ukulele for my inconvenience!They sent a tenor with the solid headstock and satin finish which is much nicer than the 90% gloss on the prior ukulele.Everything is as it should be with the exception of having sharp fret edges.This seems to be the norm these days, because every ukulele that I get from EVERY manufacturer tends to need attention in this area anyway.It's not a big deal.I sell ukuleles and that's why I have a fret file.Everything else is excellent.No glue smudges or finish problems.I will definitely buy more ukuleles from Ulamac in the future.GREAT COMPANY!!!-------------------------------------------MY ORIGINAL REVIEW:Two stars off for the minor fixable problems.The frets were a bit rough.There was a bit of glue on the fretboard and bridge that I had to clean off.The tuner does not come with a battery. What the heck?Batteries are dirt cheap in China.The A string broke right away during my very gentle and incremental settling process.The included unbranded extra strings sound much better anyway.The fretboard and bridge were chalky looking. I easily fixed it as I do on all ukuleles.The wood grain is open-pore but with a clear coat over it.The two things I especially like about this ukulele is that it has excellent tone and also projects very well, especially with the second set of strings provided.The included gig bag is basically a dust cover, much like the ones that Luna includes with their ukuleles.Not a good choice for travel as it's basically a piece of canvas with a zipper.I look for nice ukuleles, touch up what the factory overlooks if it's feasible, and sell them.This one has such nice tonal and projection properties that I wouldn't mind keeping it for myself!Would I buy another?Yes.

It feels really nice and sounds good. The tuner is very handy as well for not only a uke. Very fun to learn and great to bring along on trips.Great value for a beginner like myself.

I got this as a Christmas gift. Seemed like a great price and everything you need to get started. It looks good and everything in tact. I'm excited to gift it. Pleased with my purchase.

it plays when I tell it, so it's all well

I wanted something a little bigger than my kids school uke. It works great and didn’t cost an arm and a leg. The tuner that it came with is very useful for my bas and guitar as well.

Haven't played the ukulele in 50 years and thought it would be fun to take it up again. Very nice uke. Came well packaged. Took me a while to tune it and of course, broke the G string, but I replaced it. Digital tuner works well. Had to go on You Tube to figure out how to use it as I've never used one. Had all 4 strings tuned but last night had a hard time tuning C. Will tray again today. Read that it takes a while for the strings to acclimate so I'll have to keep tuning the strings for a few days but that's ok. Bought a chord book and beginner books to refresh my memory and skills. I just plan to have a little fun with it.
