Butser Mountain Music 'Deco custom - "Lovely hand made Ukulele"
The Ukulele itself is a Concert on the small end of the scale - but has a wider neck than usual for a Concert. It is very solidly made and smoothly finished with a very nice tone though acoustically it's a little quiet, (it can have a piezo pickup fi…
Beltona The Blue Uke #2 Concert - "One of the best Ukuleles money can buy"
This has a really great tone and bags of volume, not a lot of sustain though so some songs don't work well. The composite body is much lighter that a metal one, (though its still heavy for a Ukulele) and takes a beautiful coloured finish. The neck is…
Luna Guitars Tattoo Soprano - "One of the, if not the, best in its price range"
In the Luna Ukuleles catalogue, the "Tattoo" is at the bottom end of the product range, but its still a very good quality instrument with its laser etching based on a Polynesian tattoo design. It has a mahogany laminate body, (as you would expect for…
Laka by Vintage VUVS6 - "Attractive, versatile, and well made"
It’s made in China and this one is branded Laka by the JHS distribution co. (I have seen them on sale elsewhere with different branding and I think the actual maker is Nanjing Aileen Trading Co) . Mine came in the “transparent” (you can see some of t…
Epiphone Les Paul Ukulele - "If you only get one Ukulele..."
This could be a contender. It's well made, very good when amplified and a pleasure to play at any time; it also doesn't break the bank Gibson no longer make Ukuleles... Apart from the fact that Gibson own Epiphone and Epiphone make this particu…
Blackbird Guitars Ukulele - "A bit expensive for a beginner Uke but no reason it couldn't be"
Blackbird is a Californian chordophone manufacturer that make Carbon Fibre Guitars. Also as part of their range they make a nice looking Tenor Ukulele (so long as you can live with the old Henry Ford "any colour you like so long as it's black"; and I…
Kala MK-S Soprano - Redburst - "Is this the best Budget Ukulele"
The general consensus in the Ukulele world is that the Makala Dolphin is the best budget starter Ukulele you can get. Its not a view I fully agree with, not counting second hand bargains there are other potentially good Ukuleles aimed at this level. …
Thomann Bohemia Concert Ukulele - "Said it was a Tenor Scale but was actually Concert"
This is quite a pretty Ukulele. The wood inlay rosette around the oval sound hole is very well done, as the rosewood veneer on the asymmetric headstock, (that reminds me of the headstock of my Ibanez Talman). The fat deep cutaway body and the middle …
Clearwater Roundback Baritone Ukulele - "Very Versatile Baritone Ukulele "
This is my biggest proper Ukulele, bigger even than the other Baritones. It has a nice spruce top, (as time goes on I am increasingly getting to like spruce), a good passive pickup, (so it doesn't need batteries), and a very smooth and quite thin bod…
Clearwater ABS Concert Ukulele - "Can I score it no Stars?"
Lanyao Musical Instrument Co. ABS Concert Ukulele My one was branded Clearwater but I have seen a lot of other people selling the same model of Ukulele under different Brand Names. Korala and Brunswick are two more but I'm sure there are others a…
