Third time the package arrived without damage. poorly packaged, otherwise nice ukulele.
This is the second time I've ordered this item, and it arrived broken, very poorly packaged. The item itself is of good quality.
Beautiful instrument, very well made, the "open pore" finish is very nice, interesting laser inlays and made with high-quality materials. By the way, it arrived perfectly functional on all keys. At 30 euros it was already quite expensive, but I paid 25 euros with a coupon, completely satisfied.
poorly packaged and broken, see photo.
It took a very long time, it got stuck somewhere in transit. The ukulele is decent, plays like an ukulele should. The sound is a bit woody, but that's nothing special for this instrument.
It's as good as described. Arrived safely and well-packaged. After tuning it, the sound is great.
Slow shipping and transportation, poor packaging, proof of damage upon arrival.
Nice-looking ukulele, decent workmanship, nice ringing sound, the fretboard isn't perfectly playable, but ok for the price. Very suitable for beginners or children.
Good ^^
Really good quality for the low price. The wood is beautiful and really nice to play. I would recommend this instrument to z as anyone who is interested in trying out playing a ukulele for the first time.
The ukulele is aesthetically cute and the sound is decent too. I give it 4 stars only because the overall length of the instrument is 3-4 cm less. However, the tuning fork is correct at 43 cm.
