Donner Soprano Ukulele 21 Inch Beginner Kit Ukulele Professional Starter Set Student Adult Child Solid Top Mahogany Hawaii Guitar

Good value for all you get

I’m not much of a ukulele player as you can see from my video. I purchased this mostly to have laying around in case I’d like to add some uke to any tracks I record. Considering the low price and the great looks allowing it to double as a decoration I’m okay with having a just in case instrument laying around. Overall I’m very pleased and can recommend this little guy to anyone who wants a ukulele that’s a bit nicer but doesn’t want to spend a whole lot of money. Sound: Is very balanced. There’s nothing particularly shrill or cheap sounding about it, it’s just that classic ukulele tone for days. It’s quite smooth and relaxing; so it fulfills the role quite well. It’s actually hard to go in-depth about it’s sound because balanced, smooth, and relaxing describes it perfectly. No one string or part of the frequency spectrum seemed out of step here. Build quality: Is great. All the woods used have beautiful grain, there’s plenty of mahogany to help smooth out the sound, and rosewood for the bridge and fretboard which again helps warm up and smooth out the sound. The matte finish also feels very nice in the hands. Moving your fretting hand around on this little guy is really easy because of it. The binding on the body is done perfectly and the logo is an inlay rather then printed text. They’ve also added some palm trees around the sound hole for a very subtle but nice design touch. It’s pretty clear this instrument was designed and built well. The accessories while nothing special are all good quality as well. The tuner will do the job, the picks look very nice though I personally prefer grippier picks, the strap is comfortable, and the gig bag has sufficient padding, and it itself has a palm tree on it to match the design and relaxing-beach-theme the whole instrument adheres to. My only complain is the zippers on the gig bag are a bit finicky and don’t go from end to end in one smooth motion. Playability: I touched on this above but to go more in depth I’d say this feels and plays like a classic ukulele. The finish allows for fast and fluid movements, the neck is tiny but in a C shape so it has a certain familiarity for those of us who play more vintage style guitars, fret access is great for the first octave and then what you’d expect after that, and it’s so light you can play it without a strap while standing just fine. All this combined makes it perfect for beginners or even those who need a good uke for gigs.

This is a beautiful ukulele. Build feels solid. Binding really sets it off. Frets just a little rough on edges. Easily smoothed with a nail file Comes with soft case, strap, clip on tuner, cleaning cloth, extra set of strings and four picks. Everything you'll need to get started. A good ukulele for the money.

Christmas gift for my 14 year old. She loves it! Has already learned a few songs. Does need to be tuned frequently, but I’ve heard that’s common with nylon strings. Seems to be really good quality and nice sound! Would definitely recommend, especially if you can catch it on a discount.

My personal human loves this ukulele.

This has everything a beginner needs & at a great cost. The uke itself is made well & produces quality sound. The gig bag is sturdy & had a big enough pocket to fit all the accessories you get & then some.

This is a pretty good ukulele

Such a great uke! The Donner DUC400 concert set is such a great value! You get the case, extra strings, a mini tuner, strap and picks as well as a microfiber cleaning cloth. I have another uke that is five times the price and honestly this Donner is every bit as good I totally love it! Get it! I promise you won’t regret it!

The ukelele came very well packaged. Not only was it in the padded gig bag, but it was also foam wrapped protecting it from marring. The bundle also came with a strap, picks, a clip-on tuner, polishing cloth and extra strings. The head of the ukelele has a string attached with two cards, one with care instructions and another with a chords chart. The strap has a nice woven pattern and is of good quality. This is my second Donner clip-on tuner. It tracks well and the accuracy matches my tuners from other brands. The gig bag is well built too, with a pocket big enough to carry any accessories you may need to take with you. It is padded and has a nice orange accent ribbing. There is a set of adjustable shoulder straps attached to the back. I was impressed with the ukelele itself, it is wooden with a beautiful grain and a double binding on the body.
