Kadence Concert Sized Ukulele 24inch (Built in Equalizer) With Bag and Tuner (Mahagony Wood)

I was slightly apprehensive about buying this instrument online, but I couldn't find an inexpensive concert-sized Uke anywhere in my city. As it turns out, this Uke is a good beginner instrument, so all is well. I used this 12-point checklist to inspect the Uke, and it ticks all the boxes:- No rattles or squeaks when you shake it- No splits or cracks in the wood- Neck firmly joined to body with no gaps in between, and neck doesn't shift around- Top, sides, and back joined without any gaps- Top of body completely flat, no bulges or depressions, especially near the bridge- Back of body evenly curved, no bulged spots or depressions- Sight down neck from back of body shows neck is straight or SLIGHTLY bent up, but not bent down, and not twisted either way- Interior of sound hole is neat and well finished- Braces firm and not shifting around- All strings at same height above fretboard (not more than 3mm above crown of 12th fret)- Fret edges nice and smooth along the neck, nothing sharp or sticking out- Gear tuners turn smoothly without grindingAlso, the instrument is pretty loud, it doesn't sound like a toy. The clip-on tuner that came with the Uke works well. New Ukes typically need frequent tuning until they get seasoned, but surprisingly, this Uke stayed in tune for 2-3 days before requiring a retune.The only criticism I have is that on playing some chords, there's a slight buzzing noise from the strings towards the end of the sustain. It might be easily solved by upgrading to Aquila strings, but even otherwise, at this price, it's honestly nothing to complain about. Also, the strings need to be pressed down with more force than you might need with a very high end Uke, but it's probably better to learn with this and upgrade later, than the other way around. I haven't yet plugged in the Uke to an amp, so I don't know how well the built-in pickup works.TL;DR - It's a good beginner Uke. Great value for money. Just make sure you inspect your piece against all the points mentioned in the checklist above.

I bought this product in November 2023 with the intention of starting a new hobby, initially considering the guitar as the best option. However, I soon realized the guitar was too large for me to handle and transport comfortably. Then, a friend suggested trying the ukulele and lent me hers for a few days. Since my aim was simply to learn during my leisure time without any intention of performing publicly, I felt that both the guitar and ukulele served the same purpose. I began learning the ukulele in February 2023 and found it to be enjoyable. Consequently, I decided that the ukulele suited my personality better and purchased a basic beginner's model. I currently have no plans to learn the guitar, as I am content with the smaller size of the ukulele.This product is primarily designed for individuals who want to learn the guitar or are completely new to music. After mastering this product, users can transition to the guitar or invest in a higher-quality ukulele if they wish to continue with the instrument. The product stands 24 inches tall and is crafted from good-quality wood. Tuning is easily achieved with the provided key, although it appears metallic, it's actually made of plastic. It features a built-in equalizer, which I thought would be useful but found unnecessary for beginners. Therefore, I recommend against purchasing the model with an equalizer, as it increases the cost without adding value for beginners. The product includes a tuner, although I prefer using a mobile app for tuning. Additionally, the accompanying bag is of low quality. The free ukulele course, valued at Rs. 199, was provided, but unfortunately, it didn't open, rendering it useless.Overall, the product is worth Rs. 3000, but considering the built-in equalizer is unnecessary for beginners, the actual value is closer to Rs. 2500 . Despite the negligible value of the free items, it's still reasonable to pay Rs. 3000 for beginners. However, I wouldn't recommend this product for intermediate or advanced players. Therefore, my overall rating is 3.5 out of 5 stars.
