Amazing value for this little instrument- blows me away
There are so many things that I like about this uke, and it is a great value. I do know a few things about ukes as this is my 5th one, so if you have specific questions, feel free to ask them in the "comment below" section.I say that because I previously wrote a very well-thought out and detailed review of this sweet little soprano uke by Donner, and a Bot deemed it not worthy of posting. After speaking with a human, the review was deemed as nothing inappropriate and sent on with a form to be re-processed...but then because I included several helpful pictures, and one of them happened to show how it arrived (which was totally wonderful and fine, no complaints), the review was still marked as not worthy of posting...and they don't send you a copy back so that you can edit or adjust.So---not spending all of that time on it again. But HAPPY to share with you anything you want to know! I really love this uke! Comment below if you like!

Worth the price!
Happy customer! Paid $36 with tax (Free shipping) for my ukulele! And I received the package early than I expected. ☺️☺️BUT,I wanna share my short story about my Ukulele;.What I really like the most was the "Mahogany" one but it was like $37 (Tax not included).So I made the decision to choose the "Natural" one instead, because the natural was like $33 (I saved $4) Lol.So the day has come! I received my packaged and when I opened it, I was like "😲" I received the "Mahogany"!! Instead of the "Natural"And I'm so happy about it!! Thank you!.But, I wonder why it's expensive now🤔

Great for beginners and more!
This thing is pretty good. I was surprised that it held its tuning well and its sound is pretty decent. Aesthetically speaking, I opted for the black, and as a beginner ukulele it is mostly what you’d expect (looks-wise). The headstock has the name painted on and the black paint is good. My favorite thing is the tiki strap. How cool is that? The tuner threw me through a loop at first b/c I didn’t read the instructions to see you press the power button a few times to set it to “U” for Ukulele. That made it much easier to tune.It also comes with some standard nylon strings, a cleaning cloth, and a sack. This is not a gig bag but an actual tie-string sack. I’d rather pay a few bucks more for one with a gig bag, but that’s just me, and they probably knew this was beginner for most people. I’m betting with some fluorocarbon strings it might sound even better, but it still has a pretty good sound. It sounds and plays well, the frets were not sharp/sticking out, it’s smooth, and it has decent tuning machines. I’m hoping it’s durable since it’s a gift for a kid, but overall, I’d recommend it.

Great deal
This is the uke my daughter's teacher recommended, and as far as I can tell, it sounds great! I don't have any experience so I can't compare, but I can say I really like that it came with a carrying bag, extra strings, a neck strap, and a great little tuner. Apparently, the picks aren't the right kind, but I was able to get the felt ones cheaply, so it isn't a big deal.

Nice color, nicely made and not a toy! Fair price & great sound.
Granddaughter wanted blue guitar who is 4 years old. We decided on this blue ukulele for it fits her perfectly. She’s a beginner and loves the blue color. I also bought 4 more for the other grandchildren in different colors. I absolutely recommend DONNER UKE for its sound & color and it comes with tuner, extra strings, picks, etc. (a kit) Everything you need to get started. I also purchased a beginner UKE DVD and book that explains the notes, where to place your fingers to create each note. that we will need to get started and play for a long time. There is also youtube that will show you. I’m learning to play as well and this fit is good for me too. Easy to carry around with you. Beginner Uke and not a toy. We are proud to begin on this UKE and we will be using this one for many years to come. It seems all the grandchildren love theirs and now want to get together with their cousins to practice. I bought different colors for 3 -10 years old. The 2 different browns are nice too.Thank you for the nice Ukelele DONNER

Good for beginners, needs new strings
Looks greats (black finish) and sounded beautiful once I put new strings on it. I could not get the 1st string tuned even close to A. It broke around E#, and I went slowly over the course of two days to even be able to give it time to stretch between knob turns. I encountered similar problems with the 4th string reaching high G. Better quality strings weren't too expensive and made a huge difference. I'm a beginner with a ukulele but have done acoustic guitar before - I found this instrument to be easy to work with andgood for beginners. Keep in mind that the strings need time to settle in before being able to keep tuned for longer periods of time. Ukulele strings are notorious for taking awhile to stay tuned. A new string will be dramatically out of tune by the time you've tuned the rest, especially for the first couple of days. I promise it's the process and not a problem with the ukulele itself.

High quality at a low price!
I bought this for my daughter thinking that if she trashed it (as kids are prone to do) I wouldn’t be out a ton of money. To my surprise, this is a well made Uke! I play it more than she does! The finish is perfect with no runs or overlapping the fretboard or bridge, no burs on the frets, and the tuners keep it tuned. It took a few days for the strings to stretch and hold their tune. We play this every day and tune it about every couple of days. The sound is right up there with my Flight and Kala Ukes! I'm really impressed that this is Donner's entry level model. I'll be checking out the rest of Donner's line for a future purchase.

5 stars!
My 13 year old had some experiences playing a uke in school, and ever since he has been asking for own of his own. He absolutely loves this one, and his band teacher was able to tune it easily for him. No complaints, sounds nice, great price, 5 stars!

Gorgeous soprano ukelele, keeps its tune when others fail 😊👍🏻
Your browser does not support HTML5 video. Update: in my ukulele circle, people had ordered hurricanes and other types of Ukes, mine kept its tune for the whole time and no one else’s did!!!! It was the superstar!!!! The only one that never needed a retuning even once!! I was so happy I went with this choice 💕😊👍🏻⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️I ordered this for a ukelele class and it looks beautiful and it is super easy to learn on! I haven't played since I was in grade 4-6, but it comes with a little card of chords and it's really easy to play on! It's much easier to learn than guitar and the tuner that it comes with makes it easy to tune.It would have been handy if it would have come with a guide to tuning as well, but a quick google search told me the standard tuning and I was tuned up and ready to play my first song within about fifteen minutes of unpacking it! It has a nice sound and I was worried that the black would pick up fingerprints and smudges, but, yay, it doesn't!It comes with a neck strap, case, three picks and replacement strings. Everything is pretty basic, the case is really just a bag, but it does the job. I'll probably end up getting some sort of padding or a padded case for it one day because I worry about it not having enough protection in this case, especially since I plan on taking it out in the winter and changes in weather can be really hard on instruments and I REALLY like this little uke, so I want to treat it right! It holds its tuning after being tossed around a bit in the bag and I was completely impressed by that.It doesn't come with music to play, but I found a lot of free songs online. I will probably get a book of songs too. It might be a good idea when you order to get a book of music at the same time so you can really dive in. BUT there are a lot of online teachers and tons of material for free.This is an awesome price for a really good musical instrument. It's got a loud sound to it, but not overpowering, it can be practiced in smaller places without being aggravating or played acoustically in a larger setting if you want to hit the strings a bit harder.A few notes about the tuner: the tuner is very easy to use, the only trick to it is knowing if you are really above or below the note you’re trying to get to. This is experience related and if you can’t seem to get to where you want to get to, turn the tuning peg the other way. The big display and the easy to see notes makd everyone want to use this tuner over more complex tuners.It’s straightforward and simple to use. Just don’t get turned around when tuning and you’ll be fine !

Good value for money
Excellent Ukulele. Bought for my daughter who is just learning. Easy to tune. Lovely colour. Great accessories. The turner that comes with it is not the best just used app on phone. Very prompt delivery
