• Quality instrument, hands-down best pick.

  I was fortunate to have walked into GC to see a wall of Ukes, only 30 minutes after learning "Tonight You Belong To Me," (as seen in the film "The Jerk"). I was only playing with the idea to buy one at first, but I let fate intervene. I left GC empty handed, wanting to do more research. This uke, although not the highest rated at this price level or the glitziest, out-performed even the $269.00 ukes when I returned later. Don't let the Mitchell reviews trip you up, they are more style, less stability. None of the Mitchells would hold a tune for longer than a song, however the Lanikai I purchased is now at home, still in perfect tune from when I tuned it at the store hours ago. This is a stable, resonating uke and likely the best middle-road uke that GC carries.

• High Quality Ukulele

  
  As reviewed by Dan Schulz on 9/19/2011

  It's been a few months since I went to buy this ukulele and I have been completely satisfied with it. When I first went into the store I had intended to go with a cheaper option IF I even bought a ukulele. I strummed on all the ukuleles a bit and found this one had a far better sound than the shinier mitchell ukuleles. So I went ahead with buying this ukulele and so far I have no regrets. I play this ukulele on a regular basis and it wasn't too difficult to pick up and learn a song. At first I would have to re-tune the ukulele after about an hour but now I can go about a week without needing to tune. On another note(heh. music pun.) the aesthetics look far better in person than in the pictures. The wood has a deeper color than what is displayed and the gold finish on the pegs is simply beautiful while the white stripes on the edges pop out at you. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a new instrument to learn or even their first instrument to learn. This is a simple instrument to learn, get started, and be satisfied with. But the joy is in mastering it and making progress with newer harder songs.

• Amazing Uke

  
  As reviewed by Brooks on 7/26/2011

  I got this for my birthday today and i love it. It's got a great warm tone to it. Unfortunately it has a minor fret buzz on the e string for the first 3 frets. Maybe it would stop if i changed strings but idk.
