Plus fin et étroit que le ukulélé de maman, ça en fait un ukulélé parfait pour enfant, plus léger et maniable. J'aime le fait qu'il ne soit pas recouvert d'une épaisse couche de vernis comme certains instruments jouets, ainsi le ukulélé garde la résonance et l'aspect du bois qui se voit en transparence. La couleur est magnifique ! Cordes de qualité Aquila 👌 Il a un bon son et s'il se désaccorde encore bcp c'est normal il est tout neuf.Offert à ma fille pour son anniversaire, elle est ravie et ne le quitte plus ! Elle apprécie également la housse pour le transporter partout ou empêcher le bébé sœur de toucher l'objet tant convoité ! 😂 Il lui manquerait juste une bandoulière pour limiter le risque de chute.Livraison plus tôt que prévu. Pour le prix ya pas mieux !

Le réglage prendra un certain temps pour devenir stable. Mais une fois que les cordes se sont installées, elles restent assez bien accordées.

I bought this ukulele over a year ago just to fool around with, and it's still holding up pretty well. It's hard to find a decent ukulele at the ~$30 price range, so this ukulele definitely exceeded my expectations. It can hold a tune, it's sturdy enough that it hasn't fallen apart after over a year, and it looks absolutely stunning.The strings manage to stay tuned quite well, and so far none of them have snapped. I should mention though that they are extremely cheap, and seem to be made of clear plastic. The sound quality is bright enough, but doesn't resonate as well when you play it while holding the ukulele positioned against yourself. Then again, for the low price you can't expect a flawless sounding instrument. Also, the "transparent butterscotch" color looks more yellow in person than the soft beige that is shown in Amazon's photo, although it still looks beautiful. The carrying bag that comes with the ukulele is made of extremely thin, flimsy material that really offers little protection, so it shouldn't actually be used to transport the ukulele. However, this isn't a problem for me since I only plan to use the ukulele at home.I only use this ukulele to play for fun, so if you're a more serious player I would suggest you spend a bit more on a higher quality ukulele. That being said, I still give this ukulele a full rating because it fulfilled all of my needs and expectations as a beginner player, and at an extremely affordable price too.

The Mahalo Ukuleles MK1TBS Kahiko Series Soprano Ukulele is great for someone who is just wanting to starting playing the ukulele. As a college student, my main concern for buying the ukulele was that the ukulele had to be in my price range, and the quality of the ukulele shouldn’t appear or feel cheaply made. It was also important that the ukulele I chose came from a company with a lot of good reviews.For someone who has never held or owned ukuleles before, I wasn’t sure what to expect when my ukulele arrived. Once my ukulele arrived, I had to deal with tuning the strings on the ukulele. The strings, themselves, seem cheap, and, when played at a certain angle, can make the sound quality for some notes sound off, but not unpleasant. I also found that the first few times I played, I was having to tune the ukulele nearly every time I played. Now that I have played my ukulele for a while, the strings are more stretched and stay in tune better.The body of the ukulele is not made with a very strong material, however, the body holds up nicely and stills allows for a great sound quality for the price of the ukulele. The neck of the ukulele is very solid and doesn’t feel flimsy or that it may break if you hold it too tightly. The carrying case that comes with the ukulele is nothing special, however, it is nice to have something that allows me to store the ukulele without it receiving any unnecessary wear and tear.Once I had the ukulele in tune, I was able to quickly pluck out a few chords and start practicing some songs. I found that by holding the ukulele completely to my body, which is the proper way of holding the ukulele, the sound quality is not as good as it could be. However, I’ve found it best to hold the ukulele at a slight angle, which is still both comfortable and easy for me to play the ukulele on.Overall, I’ve been impressed by the Mahalo Ukuleles MK1TBS Kahiko Series Soprano Ukulele, and I’m glad I made the purchase. Although this is the only ukulele I’ve purchased from Mahalo, I will still consider them in the future when I decide to upgrade my ukulele.

Bought this as a gift for my sister-in-law, who is picking up the ukulele while in college. We aren't sure how long she will stick with it and so didn't want to invest too much into her first ukulele. We bought her the light colored one. It is attractive enough, a little less wide than the uke my husband owns, but they are both soprano ukes.I opened it up to inspect for damage and make sure all the strings were in tact and all that. New ukes don't stay in tune well when their strings are first being stretched and this uke is no exception. Be patient with it. Expect to tune it basically every time you play for a little while.I am no expert, but I have been playing my husband's uke for the last few months and I am sort of spoiled because I probably wouldn't be happy with this ukulele for myself. I think anyone whose has already been playing maybe 6 months would appreciate a slightly higher quality ukulele. My husband has a Kala that was $55 and it is great for my skill level, but also for my husband who has been playing over a year (soooo much better than me, haha). This uke is a really great price for a beginner who just wants to give it a try. It is extremely lightweight (I would honestly expect a can of tennis balls to weigh more). The sound quality is decent (so you won't cringe whenever it is being played) and I expect it to be even more so once the strings have stretched and it starts to hold it's tune for longer. I think this uke is perfect for your kid who is showing interest in playing, and acceptable for the beginning adult who may or may not want to stick with it long-term.I can update my review as soon as my sister-in-law gets it and has started playing it more.
