Mahalo MR1-PP Soprano Ukulele - Purple

Excellent workmanship.Sounds sweet.Stayed in tune after about 3 days tuning.Very pleased.

My first time ever playing the ukulele and now I play it everyday!! The sound quality is perfect and it's to easy to tune, I'd suggest buying a strap and learning how to attach it.My ukulele came with a slightly faulty string which requires frequent tuning but it doesn't make the notes very sour at all. At first your ukulele will need tuning very often, this is just due to the strings getting used to being played. Don't worry about it! The uke isn't faulty, and you're not doing anything wrong.I suggest of you're brand new to chords and string instruments, download an app to help you tune the uke. I use "ukulele tuner" on app store. Not only this but Amazon sell these stickers which have every note on them, they can also be useful for beginners.For those who want to start playing songs there's a website called "Ukutabs" there you'll find hundreds and hundreds of song, they show you hand placement as well as difficulty levels! I've learnt almost every single song I know on ukulele from there!Hope this helps, overall an amazing quality instrument. Very happy

My daughter is learning the ukulele at school this year and has shown quite an interest so she was looking to buy one for herself for when the school one has to be returned at the end of term. She decided to buy the same one as she has for school but in a different colour (blue) so she bought this. It came from Manns Music and fulfilled by Amazon.It arrived well-packed in an outer box containing the triangular ukulele box inside. The strings were all detuned which is fine, as you don't want it tuned in the factory in Indonesia and then have it suffer a change of temperature that causes the strings to over-tension. I tuned it up to match my own ukulele then stretched the strings (pulling them about 1-2cm away from the frets to settle them in) and tuned it again.As with any stringed instrument with new strings, it does take a while for the strings to settle, especially with the type of termination the ukulele has, i.e. a knot in the nylon (rather than a brass nipple as in a steel-string guitar) and the knot needs to fit snug against the bridge termination which can take some time. My own ukulele (which cost five times this one) took a week or two before one of its strings finally settled down.The ukulele sounds fine for the price and the colour is nicely finished. Comes with a little bag as well, although more for keeping the dust off than offering any protection! Be prepared to tune it every time you use it until the strings settle (as with any ukulele) and you'll soon have a great little uke to strum or pick as you prefer. One little detail that my daughter loves is the dolphin-shaped tuning heads (see picture) as she loves cetaceans 🐋.

Bought this for my 9yr old as he is learning at school. As a guitarist I’m keen to ensure that any instrument from beginner onwards is easily playable. Otherwise the instrument sits in a corner and gathers dust. I’m pleased to report that this is getting played every day and the build quality is good enough to be easy on the ear as well as holding its tune. Often cheap instruments have awful gears in the tuning pegs causing the strings to go out of tune. So far so good, and I would highly recommend this and it even came in orange which is my son’s favourite colour. The addition of a carry case was a nice bonus.

Bought this for my son for Christmas. A month on, it's finally holding tune and playing really nicely (wish I could say the same for my son…). Ok, it's not the finest bit of craftsmanship you'll ever see, but for taking a punt on a ukulele it's perfect (not too cheap, but not too fancy). I'm enjoying playing it anyway, and the soft cover is a handy addition. Word of advice: don't even think of buying a ukulele without buying a clip-on tuner too.

Good beginner ukulele and perfect for very young child (3) as also quite robust. Lovely finish to it and sounds nice when tuned. I also bought a mahalo kahiko for slightly older child (6), which does have a slightly better sound (different material) but i think both instruments are brilliant for the price and they love playing them.

I personally love it. I was hesitant to buy it as my beginner uke after reading some of the comments but I’m glad I did! The sound quality is obviously not great but that’s expected! You can expect £100 uke quality to make music on from a cheaper one - that’s just stupid. My idea is to practice using this and buy a better uke later one. My one holds tune and it’s so much fun! It really is a great beginners uke. Delivered on time too.

My first uke so decided to go for the cheaper option with better strings. Was dubious to wether a plastic one would sound ok but for the price thought i'd give it a go to see how i got on. Incredibly quick delivery to an area of the uk most companies beleive is only accessible via the dark side of the moon, so very impressed with that. The product itself seems really well made, looks good and (ok its my first uke) but sounds great. Bought a clip on tuner with it which i fully reccommend you do. Bit of a poor bag but for the price you cant complain, after all who needs the bag if your gonna play it! Will keep the dust off but if you gonna throw it in your backpack for travelling maybe get a better bag. All in all a fab product for the price, very happy, surprised and better than i thought it would be.
