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!

I have had this ukulele for a few months now and I am not sorry I purchased it. This is my first ukulele, but I have had guitars for years, and I wanted a ukulele to tinker with.On opening the package, all that was described was included... Good start so far. The ukulele was in good shape with no shipping damage and no factory blemishes. In fact, the ukulele is very nice looking. The soft case is also quite nice and seems like it will hold up with use. The ukulele strap is on the cheap end and easily twists and curls, but I don't use it anyway. If I were going to, I would buy a new one. The ukulele itself did have a couple of rattles - one in the main body and one at the tuning knobs. The rattle in the main body turned out to be a small piece of card stock that must have made its way in during manufacturing and was easily removed by giving the ukulele a couple of shakes with the hole facing down. The rattle on the tuning knobs ended up being a loose nut at the base of one of the string posts; a couple of turns with a small open-end wrench and the ukulele is rattle free.Over the first couple weeks, the ukulele needed frequent tuning. This is to be expected with new nylon strings as they have some give in them and will stretch and also since they are tied at the bottom with knots and the knots will tighten with the tension and loosen up the strings. Once all this settled, it only requires occasional minor tuning and sounds great. This ukulele is a pleasure to play and all the notes are clean with no string rattles or dead spots like you might find on a cheaper instrument. I have kept this ukulele out and laying around and it survived the destructive forces of my children so far.The tuner that comes with this package has now replaced the more expensive tuner I have been using for my guitars for years. It is very simple and works well.Bottom line is, if you are looking for a ukulele to learn on, tinker with, or play around the campfire, but don't want to spend a lot of money, this package is definitely worth the price (I paid $69.00). I would definitely recommend this product. If you have larger hands, you may want to consider the tenor size instead.

I was very pleased with this ukelele purchase. I'm pleased with it's sound, playabilty and appearance. One item, however: I found the G-string (properly tuned) to sound just a tad sharp over the first 3 frets. I solved this minor annoyance by replacing the existing G-string with an Aquila Red low-G string, which I purchased through Amazon. The thicker string took care of the problem without making any minor adjustment(s) to the ukelele. As it turns out, I find that I prefer the sound of a low-G string on the ukelele. It gives the ukelele a slightly fuller sound and it also extends the lower range of any scales on the instrument. Regular-G string or low-G string is a matter of player preference, ofcourse. In any case, I'm happy with my purchase and plan on getting a lot of use out of this instrument.

I bought this for my 10 yr old grandson for his birthday. I was beautiful. The sound was smooth and sweet. Everything came with it like it said. We attached the nice strap. I am going to get one gor myself!!!!

Very happy with my new ukulele. It came very well packaged. Love the accessories … tuner, extra chords, pics, strap, cloth and the case especially. You will need a CR2032 size battery for the tuner because it’s not included. I’m so glad that it came with the chords already on it and, surprisingly, it wasn’t too out of tune. I’m a beginner and have been using a Soprano, so I’m still getting used to the Concert size.
