Martin Smith 21 Inch Soprano Ukulele Starter Set, Pink

My daughter just loved it, very good for beginners

This ukulele is great for beginners. I have attached a video so you can hear the sound quality which isn’t very good. Perfect if you don’t know whether you’re going to stick with the instrument and it is cheap. I got a better ukulele after falling in love with it because it is quite low quality. It looks very nice and it is a lovely addition to have the bag and the chord book. Overall a great purchase if you’re interested in picking it up but not the best.

Sound good just need to tune it every use

Great little starter ukulele for a beginner. I got it for my almost‑8‑year‑old to play around with and he’s really enjoying it. It arrived open and missing the spare strings, but the seller was brilliant and sent them out straight away, plus a few extra plectrums which was a lovely touch.

Misrepresented by the picture, I ordered this for my grandson. When it arrived I found that there was no plectrum included (as shown in the picture). So I had to order some for him at an additional cost. The "gig" bag is made of cheap thin plastic and provides no padding or protection for the instrument. I think this bag should be called a "dust cover" rather than a gig bag. The ukulele itself is fine and has a nice tone. There is also a colour coded chord booklet included which a child friendly.

For £17, can’t go wrong really. Cost the same as a single music lesson, which my daughter has used this for every week for the last 5 months. It tunes up well and hasn’t had any issues despite less than gentle handling by a 5 year old! Even if it falls to bits tomorrow it’s more than paid for itself.

I wish I could give this zero stars. It is truly awful. The obvious thing to get out of the way is the adage that "you get what you pay for". Frankly, anyone who thinks they're going to get a custom made, professional grade string instrument for sixteen quid ought to book an appointment with their doctor. There are cases where buying cheap is necessary or appropriate, but know that you're buying something made on a Far East production line that won't have been anywhere near a luthier. I bought this on the assumption that it's going to be tested to destruction, so it was a choice of cheap and replaceable, or bombproof. The latter is too big an investment for a child who may not take to the instrument at all. An additional requirement was that it had to be blue, which rules out most serious models anyway. Having read multiple warnings to avoid Mahalo ukes, I decided to take a punt on a Martin Smith. But there is another side to the low end of the market: merchantability and fitness for purpose. And this product fails miserably. Never before have I had to strip down and rebuild a new instrument to make it playable. The only reason I didn't send it straight back is that my daughter couldn't have coped with that. The tuners were just shoved on carelessly, so that they sat at an angle to the headstock. I was able to refit them correctly. The frets were all bent and not seated properly. I took them all off, cut deeper grooves and reseated them, but they're still a bit wonky. The action was too high both at the saddle and the nut. I've made some effort to correct that. The result of my input is that it's at least playable now, but the intonation is still a bit off. The sound is dull; I'm waiting for some new strings to replace the toy ones supplied with it, but it's a bit like polishing a turd. (UPDATE: As I expected, a set of Aquila Nylgut strings has vastly improved the sound. It actually sounds like a uke now! However, that doesn't negate any of the above.) I'm going to replace it with a Makala Dolphin before she starts her lessons. It was worth the gamble in our case due to our particular situation, but there is no need for anybody else to waste their money. DO NOT BUY THIS UKULELE.

My first Ukulele and first musical instrument to learn the basics. It comes with starter set guide for beginners, tuning tool, travel carrying bag. It looks great and price was great.

Muy buen producto, a mis hijos les encanta, esta bien para iniciarse en elinstrumento, ya que las cuerdas se aflojan y se desfina rapido. Pero relacion costo beneficio, muy buen producto

Chouette instrument pour un débutant.

Bra kvalite och bra pris
