Mahalo Ukuleles MR1BU Rainbow Series Soprano Ukulele

Me ha gustado mucho la terminación del material es un material muy bueno y no hay nada en lo que esté desconforme

My daughter is learning the ukulele at school this year and has shown quite an interest so she was looking to buy one for herself for when the school one has to be returned at the end of term. She decided to buy the same one as she has for school but in a different colour (blue) so she bought this. It came from Manns Music and fulfilled by Amazon. It arrived well-packed in an outer box containing the triangular ukulele box inside. The strings were all detuned which is fine, as you don't want it tuned in the factory in Indonesia and then have it suffer a change of temperature that causes the strings to over-tension. I tuned it up to match my own ukulele then stretched the strings (pulling them about 1-2cm away from the frets to settle them in) and tuned it again. As with any stringed instrument with new strings, it does take a while for the strings to settle, especially with the type of termination the ukulele has, i.e. a knot in the nylon (rather than a brass nipple as in a steel-string guitar) and the knot needs to fit snug against the bridge termination which can take some time. My own ukulele (which cost five times this one) took a week or two before one of its strings finally settled down. The ukulele sounds fine for the price and the colour is nicely finished. Comes with a little bag as well, although more for keeping the dust off than offering any protection! Be prepared to tune it every time you use it until the strings settle (as with any ukulele) and you'll soon have a great little uke to strum or pick as you prefer. One little detail that my daughter loves is the dolphin-shaped tuning heads (see picture) as she loves cetaceans 🐋.

I don't know Uke quality, but this seemed like good quality for the price.....and it is. During quarantine time I sit on my front porch and am learning to play. It has a good sound, is easy on the finger and along with the book I ordered (with digital tracks) makes learning Ukulele a lot of fun. And I love the color.

i bought ten of these for $30 a piece for my school. They have a hard time holding their tune for the first few days, but after the strings stretch they are wonderful little instruments. They could use some setup, but the fret's are sharp, and the action is high. You cannot beat this uke for the price though. period.

Le ukulele était bien emballé et est arrivé dans un état impeccable. J'aime beaucoup ce bleu roi. Au début les cordes ont eu tendance à se désaccorder d'un jour à l'autre, mais au bout de 3 semaines ça s'est stabilisé. Je suis très content de mon achat !
