Question 1

Is it quality

Accepted Answer

I got one for me and my sister. Most low cost ukuleles are unplayable until you have them set up and restrung with better quality strings. Not this one. It comes ready to play out of the box, it just takes a couple weeks until the strings don't fall out of tune, but that's true of all nylon strings.

Question 2

The picture shows the strings in the wrong place.  Instead of 1,2,3,4, it 3,1,2,4.  We ordered two, and both came this way.  Is it hard to move them?

Accepted Answer

If you prefer a 1-2-3-4 string sequence, you can order a Low-G tenor ukulele string to replace the High-G string that it came with.

Read the descriptions of the string.  Some are solid nylon; some are metal-wound; some have higher or lower tension than others.

Most of your ukulele YouTube lessons, though, are for the re-entrant stringing 4-1-2-3 that your uke came with.

Question 3

is it good quality

Accepted Answer

Read the reviews. My wife loves hers. Mine developed a crack in the top within two weeks of owning it and I returned and swapped for a Kala KA-S. I think that my wife's less expensive Kala KA-15S has a nicer tone than mine. But yes, it's good quality. It's made of lovely wood too. A very beautiful little instrument. I recommend buying from Amazon and saving the shipping materials until you're sure you love it. Returns are free on Amazon...for a time. :)

Question 4

I'm just beginning on the ukelele.  Should I buy a soprano or concert size?

Accepted Answer

All ukuleles are small, and if you have larger hands, you might find the short scale of a soprano to be cramped. No ukulele could be called "too big", so try to find a shop that has all four sizes and decide which is most comfortable for you.  The tenor is easy to play and has more depth and "punch", but the little soprano wins on charm.
