Bought the ukelele starter kit for 7 year old grandaughters birthday. She hasn't received it yet, but I am very impressed with the quality of it. I had done some online research and this make of ukelele was recommended. A great range of accessories are also included in the kit, which will give her everything she will need. Some kits just have a cloth bag, but this kit has a proper carrying case. The price paid was a lot less than other outlets, and delivered well packaged.

I was a bit nervous about buying an instrument online but, honestly, this is so much better than I expected! Gorgeous colour, and those palm trees are etched in, not printed on. Gorgeous ukulele. And comes with all these bits and bobs (and the strap is nice!). I love it.

Grandson loves it. He’s starting lessons this week, and this uke is ideal.

Such a good ukulele for beginners, includes everything you’d need to start learning (even a battery for the tuner). Although the sound quality isn’t as good as others, it doesn’t matter at all as it still sounds great and is perfect as a first ukulele.

My daughter is learning the ukulele and I decided to get one so that we can practice together. I love this ukulele and the kit was great with the strap and tuner! It sounds nice for a beginner ukulele.

This little ukulele is perfect. I’m new to ukes so I don’t have others to compare it to, but this was a great deal for the money and comes with everything you need. The sound quality is great and it’s a sturdy little thing! Would absolutely recommend.

Very good for me as a beginner as it comes complete with all the essentials and in particular the tuner I've found is a must. Like with all new string instruments, daily tuning is expected and I have notice that one string goes out of tune faster than the others, with two being very stable indeed. The biggest thing for me is the lovely tone this concert Ukulele produces, which after a bit of on-line research is probably due to the fact it has a solid mahogany top. Good purchase.

This is a quality made soprano ukulele. The finish is great, the edges of the frets are very nicely smoothed out, and the action was very nice right out of the box. The tuning machines are of the better closed variety, and are smooth to operate, and stay tuned for a long time. Playing this ukulele is a pleasure; although I prefer tenor ukuleles, I wanted a soprano ukulele in my collection, and this Donner filled that niche nicely.

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.
CountryKitty
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
Gary Stevenson
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.
