Harley Benton UK-12 Soprano Ukulele Blue

Comprei isto pois fiquei interessado (sou guitarrista) em adquirir um ukulele apenas para aprender uns acordes e levar para festas e convívios. Escolhi o azul pois é a cor que eu gosto mais, mas este azul é um azul muito escuro, perde um bocado a graça.

O meu ukulele tinha algumas marcas na madeira, muito pequenas nada de especial, mas pelo preço eu deixo passar. 18,50 euros por um instrumento? É verdade, isto é um instrumento, não é um brinquedo. Consegue-se afinar e tocar e o som não se assemelha a uma guitarra de brincar.

As cordas são realmente muito fracas, eu coloquei umas aquilas no meu e não fiquei nada desiludido...

Vem com um saco, e isso foi um dos prós para eu comprar isto, mas o saco é um triste bocado de tecido que se derem uma pequena pancada contra uma parede faz logo mossa. Mas para guardar o instrumento e alguns acessórios (pois tem uma pequena bolsa) faz o seu trabalho, se a pessoa tiver atenção.

O símbolo Harley Benton que está no headstock brilha e tem um aspeto fade o que é agradável.

As a beginner and for trying out if the Ukulele suits one as an instrument this is an awesome instrument to begin with. It has its flaws here and there but basically this a very good value.

A really good point this product makes is the Price, which is very low and affordable. This makes a strong point to beginners and People who just want to try out the instrument.

You see is what you get, so this is not the most awesome Quality one would get out of a Ukulele.
The paint job is sturdy yet not really that nice.
The Uke itself goes out of tune pretty fast even after a lot of time.
The sound itself might be best described with: "a bunch of strings attached to wood." Yet again this is not the product one buys for the quality of sound. (Duh!)

All in all this is a solid piece of gear. I especially recommend this one to all new beginners trying to see if this is an instrument for oneself. But you'll come to the conclusion that one will get a new proper Uke pretty soon if one wants to continue playing this instrument.

To be noted: This is a pretty small instrument especially with big hand this might not be your instrument.

I bought a small number of these Ukuleles for teaching children at school. Many children wish to learn guitar first but thankfully after trying out these Uks, the children experienced a level of success and accomplishment very quickly and therefore stick at the instrument. I know that it would take so much longer to achieve that competent feeling if it was guitar they were starting with.
The main pro with this well priced item is that it stays in tune! So many other Uks of same price or hire that I have come across in other shops just cant stay in tune or else they just cant take a chord with terrible intonation.
Highly recommend.
