Thinking about buying this ukulele? BUY THIS UKULELE! A lot of people complain about them going out of tune. They do definitely go out of tune more than a guitar but it gradually gets better and better the more you play it. Someone else somewhere said something about the strings setting in and making it stay in tune? I have no clue what that means but I suppose it's true. If you have fat fingers, you might not want to get a soprano (standard) uke as these things are tiny. It is very hard to play standing up as it has no strap and the pressure of your fingers on the frets moves the whole thing around. Try a concert (alto) uke if you have a case of the sausage fingers. I bring this thing everywhere with me now. It's a fun little songwriting tool and nothing can beat taking it on a hike or a walk and having a little outdoor jam. It's the most fun you'll ever have. I suggest you cash out your home equity and buy several thousand of them.
I am a beginner uke player, never knew anything at all about playing. I wanted something that was decent quality with a decent price. This was definitely a great pick. Sound quality is really nice (though i don't have a lot to compare it to). I was surprised by how small it was but when I started playing it i barely notice the size at all. Very fun! As far as tuning it really stays intune well. I have to tune it before i play it and sometimes they need adjustment but for the most part it stays pretty well intune. I am so excited about this instrument, i bought it about a month ago and its been really great. Definitely a great instrument!
If you're just starting out and sure you want a soprano/standard sized uke, this one is perfect for the price. It has a bright, punchy tone throughout the fretboard. At first you'll need to keep re-tuning as the strings stretch out, but after a week or so, it holds its tune very well. I probably tune it every 3-4 weeks, even with constant playing. Once you start to progress though, you will notice the little things such buzzing every now and then. But for a starting uke at $70 you can't complain. The next step up soprano/standard sized ukes at GC are at around $200, so if you're serious about playing then I'd suggest to go for those. But if you just want to test the waters before jumping in, then this uke is a great pick.
