Diamond Head Soprano Ukulele - White

Got this for my granddaughter for Christmas. Seen others at flea markets for about the same price but was not half of what we got from walmart. Will give to heron Christmas and I hope she has many hours of fun at her house, not ours!

This is our household's first ukulele. I knew I didn't want to buy a professional level, expensive instrument right off the bat, but I didn't want a toy either. I wanted a middle ground, inexpensive instrument that we wouldn't be out a lot of money as it got beat up by us trying to learn. I bought this for the whole family to learn and practice on, but mainly for my kids. They are on the younger side for starting to learn instruments, so their hands are still too small to play something larger like a mandolin or banjo. I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised at the sound quality for such an inexpensive uke! I did spend up for a set of Aquila strings that I saw suggested in other reviews, and those make a huge difference in how the instrument plays. Even with the strings that came with sounded pretty good though. I left them on for a while just while we all started to get the feel for it. It is fun to play and pretty easy to pick up, actually since there are a ton of informative videos online of how to play. The best part is watching my kids play and start learning to love creating music! This is a great option for kids and beginners, I'm so glad I found it!
