Mixture of ukulele tenor / baritone and a 6 string classical guitar, made in china, while plywood with nylon strings for classical (granted ADGCEA)

UTILIZATION

The handle is undoubtedly the weakest point of this instrument ... The pitch corresponding to that of a tenor uke and width at the nut of the shaft is 48 mm (at random, I have not pushed the deputy to measure) it is very difficult to tackle successfully many agreements as boxes are really tiny.



SOUNDS

Considering the materials used could expect a lousy sound, yet not: contrary to all expectations this small object offer sounds very interesting!
One can enjoy playing a bit of everything for this little machine is very amusing ...
Note that it is planning more than a ukulele-solid mahogany Tenor, no less.

OVERALL OPINION

I have for almost 3 years but uses it very rarely (it almost unplayable unless you have fingers of a child). But traveling is nice to carry around: focusing on agreements that can serve as playable guitar, banjo ukulele see on one little thing not expensive, heavy, not bulky.

The "+" means the ridiculous price (barely half that of an entry-level ukulele), the rich sonic palette, the construction is solid and it is actually possible to leave between a pognes toddler without much fear

The "-": the handle (half of the agreements are unplayable for ordinary human form), the mechanics who do not agree over a quarter of an hour

Considering the price (a carton of smokes), this is a good thing that I would do it eventually ... but hey, for me it's still a toy more than anything else and to make music I like very much my ukulele (a real one, not a stagg) and / or my guitars.
