I'm just beginning to learn the Ukelele with my young son. I ordered this Tenor as I find the Suprano Uke is to small for my fingers on the fret. I am no professional but do find this Ukelele good for what I need it for. Seams to be well made and came with bag and extras.

Arrived on time and exactly as specified. Package is excellent value for money.
Early use sounds good. Strings taking a few days to stretch and having to retune regularly. The electronic tuner works well.

Emma is very happy with her ukulele. David, who's helping her learn to play says it is a quality instrument and a really good choice. I would be happy to recommend Donner for quality and service. Thanks
With best regards

The uke turned into a serious hobby, one that I eagerly practice every single day and even bring with me when I go out of town and even to the park on a beautiful day. I now know quite a few songs by memory, I’m completely comfortable playing my Donner uke, and it’s quality and sound have lived up to my standards. I can also fingerpick a few songs which I never thought I’d be able to do! Love my Donner uke!

The look of it is simply super high end, tough it is not solid wood it looks just as if it was all mahogany. Beautifully built.Very clear and nice resonance from the woods which plays very well with an acoustic guitar in terms of volume. It is little, but puts out a nice warm yet Ukulele like crisp highs. I have kept the ones that are on and they do match the additional ones that they sent out (which is really cool), again not a Ukulele pro, however the strings are holding up very well and after the first week of playing and stay in tune quite well.

As a 50-something woman, I've secretly longed to play the uke for years but felt time and ability to learn had passed me by. Not so, thanks to my new Donner ukele!
Tanager
It is more beautiful than the pictures, a deeper caramel color, which I tried to capture in the photo. The mahogany grain is beautiful and shimmers as the light changes, enhanced by a subtle satin finish. The tone is rich and resonant.
Tim
I am a 25 year old beginner and I adore the sound and clarity of this uke. The build quality is terrific and I love the accessories as well! The tuner is great and so is the case!!
Booth
I honestly wasn't expecting to get something so decent for the price, especially given all the other items in the order (quality gig bag, extra strings, tuner, etc).
Han
What a beautifully crafted ukulele! To me (again--an absolute beginner) this looks and feels like a high quality instrument. I'm glad I went with the concert ukulele.
Matt
I think this entry level ukulele is great for beginners and those interested in venturing into the world of ukes.
Brands
It plays very nice and stays pretty much in tune (I tune every day before I play anyway). I've been thrilled with the purchase. I'll be buying a higher quality uke later - but don't get me wrong, for the money this was a great pick up.
Jannie
This is a surprisingly high quality instrument for the price point. It is well made and comes with all the accessories you need to start playing, especially as a beginner. It comes with extra strings, a small tuner (this one could be better, but it’s fine for a starter- the battery cover on mine broke, but I downloaded a tuner app and that works fine), picks, and a cleaning cloth. The instrument itself has a good timbre and sounds beautiful...
Northwoodsmom
While the Donner is definitely a budget uke, it looks and sounds very nice and comes with great accessories. The gig bag is great quality with a large pouch to store accessories, and the installed strap buttons and strap.
Cuppa
This was an awesome ukulele set. The uke itself is great quality with a great full tenor sound and holds its tune even after playing a few songs which is really good for a brand new uke.
The extras were great except the gig bag is a tad too small for the uke (I ordered the tenor 26"). It's more suited for a concert size.
The included tuner got the uke tuned so much faster than any app I have tried before. It took me 5 minutes to get all strings on key!
Overall, a very good uke and the price is deceiving because you get a really great quality uke. I'm quite pleased.
Ben
I have a much more expensive tenor ukulele from a different brand that I love, but I wanted an inexpensive soprano that I could travel with, since it's smaller and I don't have to worry about it the cost if it's damaged, lost, or stolen.
The sound you get for the price is amazing, and I'd have no problem recommending this to somebody who is interested in a starter uke, especially because it comes with a bag and a really great tuner. The bag is pretty basic and I might someday upgrade to a more padded bag, but it's not an awful bag, either.
If you're interested in learning, or if you have a kid who is interested, this is a sure bet. It's not up to the standards of a professional instrument, but you're gonna have a hard time beating this for the price.

I enjoyed this fantastic product because of all the things it came with and was packaged with. The packaging was amazing and very clean and tidy. There’s was no damages or indents on the packaging the ukulele came in. They even took extra precaution knowing that it is an instrument and patched it with two boxes. I loved the colorful pics they were amazing and so bright in color. It was spectacular! The sound of the ukulele it self was very sharp and on point. For a beginner, the ukulele would be a perfect because of all the helpful tools such as, pics, a tuner, cloth, a beautiful strap and extra strings just in case your string rips. The wood the ukulele was made with my very pretty and there was no damages or even a single scratch on the instrument. There was even a tag on the ukulele that showed you the most common cords and a picture to show you were to place you fingers in order to play the note. As a beginner it was very helpful.
Kriss
I studied a bit to find a good one within my meager budget, and found this one. The craftsmanship is really nice, it is lightweight but feels pretty sturdy.
RJ
I like the way the strings attach on the bottom with knotted ends. The strings need to be stretched a bit for the Ukulele to stay in tune. The bag is great - padded and has straps on the back to carry like a backpack. That is really helpful when transporting the instrument. The neck strap attachment is great! The pegs to attach it are already attached to the Ukulele and it makes it easier to hold in place. Much better than the strap that goes around your neck and just clips onto the hole of the Ukulele. I'm very pleased.
David
Being an economy uke, I was surprised by how well built it is and how nice it looked.
Speide
Overall, I really love this ukelele.
Slapshot
I have to say how impressed I am with the sound of the Donner. It is rich and warm. Fit and finish is beautifully done albeit somewhat plain.
Mart
We picked this uke up as a gift for one of our children. It's well made and higher quality than I expected for an instrument of this price.
Patricia
Got my Donner Concert Uke today and LOVE IT!!! Not a flaw on it, sounds Great, of course being my 1st uke don't have anything to compare it to, but I trusted all the reviews I read and I am very pleased, the tuner that came with it works very well.
Andrea
I'm really enjoying this ukulele after a month of ownership. The quality is great for what you pay, and what you get. I would definitely recommend for anyone curious enough to start playing without wanting to make a major investment.
Chris
This is a great uke for the beginner that, like me, has fingers that are not as flexible or maneuverable as they were when they were in their twenties. The wider string spacing makes it much easier to switch from chord to chord. I like the slightly "deeper" sound that the tenor produces over the soprano as well. The uke as well as all the accessories that came with it were great. I especially liked the gear bag. It was well made, padded nicely, and the uke fit properly in it.
Ben
tuning/strings: 5/5
this ukelele holds tune very well. the tuners seem to be good quality (but im no expert on that) and the bridge and nut are good quality and dont snag the strings too much. 4 days into playing i can set the uke down for a few hours and come back and it's still in tune (well, good enough to fiddle around on anyway)
action: 5/5
just about perfect. it remains to be seen if the neck or body warp and ruin the action, but that's how it goes with things made of wood.
sound: 5/5
im not an expert by any means, but it sounds really good to my ears. it's mellow, woody, subtle, deep. but it also projects really well for such a small instrument.
overall quality: 5/5
no rough edges. parts seem well made. nothing loose. it's very pretty looking. the finish is so light that you can feel the texture of the wood.
also it comes with a clip on tuner that works well, an extra set of strings (donner brand/no name?), a few picks, a strap, and a case. the case is really good. it's a soft case but with a lot of cushioning. zippers and stitching seem decent quality. the strap is not good. the ends are shaped completely wrong and the peg is on the neck way too close to the frets so it gets in the way of your fretting hand. it's easy enough to fix if you want to use a strap but probably involves moving the neck strap peg and cutting one end of the strap.
i bought this uke cause i wanted something decent to play that was small enough to strap to the back of my bicycle. it was cheap enough to take a chance on and well worth taking a chance on. it is perfect for my needs and holds up to my personal standards. i highly recommend it for anyone that wants a decent quality instrument but doesn't want to (or can't) spend a lot of money.
Sharon
This is a great beginner’s instrument. I am 48 years old and have never played a musical instrument. This ukulele is perfect for beginners and I was learning songs through tablature very quickly. Keep in mind that until the strings stretch you will need to tune it frequently; fortunately, this uke also comes with a tuner that you can clip to it and is easy to use. Do not despair over your sore fingertips as you will develop calluses quickly as well. It is an awesome feeling when you can sing and play the ukulele simultaneously. If I can do it,you can do it.
Dodge
I’m impressed by the quality. The included tuner and other accessories are also high quality and everything fits nicely in the case. I’ve played guitar for many years and found it easy to pick up the uke and start playing. It’s a nice size and comfortable to hold and play.
Dockery
I got a beauty of a Uke, a case, a tuner, strap, picks and strings. And the Uke is gorgeous, solid Hickory!
Angelika
I was so excited for this to come in the mail! This is actually the second uke I have ever bought, the first one was a soprano uke. Reddit recommended this brand, and I’m happy with this suggestion. I love the rich tone of this tenor uke, and its price and quality are great. It’s also very pretty!
CK
This "budget" uke blew me away! The only ukes available locally at this price are from a guitar chain, and they're plastic... This uke OBVIOUSLY blows those outta the water, and it sounds great, but where this lil uke REALLY shines, are the details; The finish is a BEAUTIFUL satin over mahogany that has an almost 3D effect under multiple light sources, it's just gorgeous... The inlay around the sound hole is a nice touch, but my favorite has to be the SEE THROUGH tuners! I've never saw that before... All in all, a great sounding and playing ukele, at an AMAZING value...
Melissa
Had good sounds quality. Wouldn't stay tuned in the beginning. Left it alone for a day or two and once it settled in I was able to tune it and keep it in tune. Sounds beautiful now. Can't wait to learn to play it.
Sharon

It is an awesome feeling when you can sing and play the ukulele simultaneously. If I can do it, you can do it.

Definitely dig this Ukelele. I've played several in Long&McQuade, and they are either good and expensive, or cheap and terrible. I got the longer version, and it plays great ! The wood feels good, the accessory bundle has everything you need. You really can't go wrong here !
