Baritone Ukulele, 30 Inch Professional Musical Instrument Ukelele for Adults Horse Uke Beginner Kit W/Gig Bag Strap OEM Strings Hawaiian Guitar Ukalalee Yukalalee Ukalele Yukelele

The Horse ukulele is a nicely finished "concert' sized uke. Same tuning and chords, but a little bigger than the original "soprano" ukes and a little smaller than a tenor. Of course, at $49 including a gig bag, extra set of strings, capo, picks, and a strap, the body is laminated, but it is beautifully finished with numerous extra touches like a compensated saddle, sealed gear tuners, strap buttons, and a little "Horse" head inlaid at the octave, and is one of the loudest concert ukes I've played. There are a few oddities, like strap buttons and a strap which I've never seen on a uke, or the included picks which again are not used on ukuleles, not to mention the capo, something as well never used on ukes. Still, this in no way detracts from the ukulele itself which is both an excellent sounding instrument and a genuine bargain. I'll personally never use the strap, picks, or capo with the uke, but I will use them with a guitar. As to playability, my Horse ukulele came ready to play. Fretwork was clean, action low. What more could you want in a starter ukulele package?

The media could not be loaded. I was provided this ukulele for review, but would have happily paid the advertised price to have it! It’s an excellent ukulele for a beginner just starting out (like me!), and I think it would bring joy to a more experienced player as well. The mahogany top, sides, and back have a nice grain pattern of alternating light and dark areas and the satin stain has a rich honey-amber glow that is especially beautiful on the side grain. I tried to It show off as much as I could in the photos and videos, but it’s even more beautiful in person.Sound is good. No buzzing, good sustain, nice and bright tone from the D’addario strings.I was impressed with the gig bag: nice construction, good zippers, roomy front pocket, good padding. The logo on the bag (also repeated on the headstock) looks nice as well.I was not as impressed with the included accessories: 2” wide strap (too wide in my opinion), guitar sized capo, and no tuner. Extra strings were included, so that’s a nice thing. I’d much rather have had a tuner than the capo.Overall, a great value and a very nice instrument. If this is your 2nd (or more) instrument, you likely have a tuner and won’t miss it not being included. If you’re a new player - or purchasing as a gift - make sure to get a tuner as well so you’re ready to go when you get the ukulele!

Mine came stung as a regular Ukelele. It is supposed to be a baritone. the extra strings are for a baritone. The product page says they are D' Addario strings yet they come not in a package. I think they are Chinese knock offs. I had to restring to actually have a baritone and once I did it sound very nice. I did later buy actual D' Addario baritone strings (they look totally different) and the sound went from good to amazing. It appears to be well made and has great reasonance. The Gig bag is surprisingly good and even has some padding. It is a much better gig bag than the one I recieved with my Yamaha Guitalele. Overall it is a great value, but be prepared to restring in order to achieve the full sound.

The media could not be loaded. So many things to love about this ukulele. After a week, this uke holds its tune very well! And at first, the frets were a bit scratchy and sticking out along the neck (probably due to temperature during shipping), but after adjusting to my home temperature, I no longer feel them protruding. The sound is rich and smooth like honey. I'm used to a soprano, so the slightly longer frets took a little bit to get used to. My husband prefers the concert to the soprano for that reason as he has larger fingers. Aesthetics: Really nice inlays (especially for horse lovers!)--cute horse inlay on the 12th fret instead of a dot, and the horse logo on the headstock is inlaid and not just painted on. Pretty wave/swoop on the head is a nice touch. The rosette is plain and no purfling. Kit: The kit comes with a lot. The great blue canvass padded gig bag is a huge plus. Extra strings are a great bonus. The strap and capo are technically for guitar but work fine for the uke. The picks are kinda pointless. Typically felt picks (if any) are used with the uke, so not sure why they included guitar picks. The only thing that's missing is a tuner. I like to have a tuner attached to all my string instruments, so I don't have to go looking for one each time I pick it up. I just ended up picking up a two-pack of extra tuners but would have liked to have one included with this kit. My uke had a couple of minor cosmetic imperfections (which in no way affect the sound)--spot on the front where the stain didn't take properly, the right side of the fretboard had a streak where the stain didn't take properly, and there was a small nick on the back edge. Overall, this is a solid choice for a beginner concert ukulele kit. Good value for the money.
