Kmise Baritone Ukulele 30 Inch Mahogany Ukelele Uke 4 String Guitar with Ukele Picks Strap Tuner G-C-E-A String

Superb sound and build quality,

I’v Always wanted a baritone ukulele but don’t have a lot of spare cash these days so when I saw this starter set including baritone ukulele, case, tuner, strap, pics and quick start guide at only £45 plus £3 delivery I couldn’t resist it. Although I was sceptical about how good it would be I decided it was worth a gamble. I received the ukulele well before the second date advertised and when I opened it I couldn’t believe how good it’s for the price. As it’s coming from so far away it’s definitely a good idea to get the one with the case to protect it. At first it sounded a little on the quiet side but now the strings have settled it is nice and loud with excellent intonation and a very nice sound. I honestly can’t find any faults with mine so definitely well worth the money. A great ukulele at a great price.

Strings are really bad and won't hold tune. Re-strung with some decent strings delivers a really nice tone and, once strings have bedded in, will stay in tune. Good value but don't even bother trying to tune it with original strings.

Ordered the Ukulele yesterday evening and it came this afternoon, thanks to Amazon prime. Plenty of packaging for protection. I immediately tuned it and had a little strum and picked the strings to get a feel for the instrument. It will take a few days for the strings to bed in. But I am genuinely impressed. Amazing value for the money, the look and feel to the ukulele is perfect. No rough bits or imperfections in the ukulele. It comes with all the extras as well which is good. It's a great addition to my guitars and Tenor ukulele.

It is a very nice instrument, but sadly, not for me, I’m new to Ukes, & this is just adding more confusing chords to learn on top of learning a concert Uke.I play guitar, & it’s chalk & cheese as far as chords is concerned.

All the instructions were for the soprano version - Not a true baritone ukulele - Supplied with soprano strings - not guitar strings.I had to change the D-4 string before I could tune it. I think it will sound better if I change all the strings. Kmise informed that the model supplied is actually made & sold by them has soprano stringing. That should be made clear on the sales information.When I get it right I think it will prove good value for money.

Lovely tone, affordable, terrible build quality. I now have four cut fingers from the frets. They stand proud of the fretboard and most of them need their ends filed down as they are sharp and unfinished. Terrible finish.

I don't know much about Ukelele, but I've been playing it for 1 month and the price & quality of this product seems pretty good!Love it.

I’ve bought 6 kmise brand ukes; a concert, a tenor, and 4 8-string tenor Ukes.— now their Baritone Uke. The workmanship and quality of each has been exceptional. Normally I’ve played guitar and banjo for over 60 years owned a music store and owned Martin, Taylor, Gibson, Yamaha, Goya and other guitars and Deering and Vega Banjoes. So I do know string instrument quality. I’m almost 90 years old and have some painful arthritis in my hands— so my playing technique has devolved into something that I had to overcome.My solution is to tune the Ukes to an open tuning. Either G Chord or C Chord; allowing me to use 1 finger barre chords and a lot of sliding to the requisite following chords. In C I tuned my Tenor and tenor 8 strings and baritone Uke 4th string to a low G, 3rd to C, 2nd to an E, and 1st to a higher G. It’s a full sound and I can finger pick it banjo style or strum or both. I love these Kmise Ukes. They are beautifully finished and have a IUnique sound. The price is unbelievable low. And all the tuner machine head have a 1:18 ratio— allowing for greater accuracy than normal 1:15. Yes, sadly they are made in China but now many main stream instruments are also made there—. MY ADVICE? Buy them now. Well worth the money or even triple the money. You can witness the playing results on YouTube search BlairandJacquelineAdams— for numerous sample clips for free.

Compré este ukelele y me llegó con algunas manchas en la madera. Gestioné la devolución (da gusto lo fácil que te lo pone Amazon... ¡rápido y eficiente!) y lo volví a comprar. Y llegó perfecto. El acabado es muy bueno, las cuerdas son Aquila y van muy bien. El ajuste es correcto y el sonido notable. La funda está bien, trae la herramienta para ajustar el alma, un juego de púas, un afinador (con su correspondiente batería), una correa (los tornillos para la correa ya están instalados en el instrumento), un cartón con los acordes básicos y una simpática guía rápida bien impresa (general, GCEA, color, inglés). No hay nada parecido en su rango de precio. Probablemente un músico profesional necesite un instrumento de otra gama, pero la verdad es que éste resulta perfecto para principiantes (y no tanto) o guitarristas que desean experimentar un uke barítono. Trae afinación GCEA. En fin, estoy encantado con este ukelele. Bien por Kmise y bien por Amazon. Lo recomiendo!

Ich spiele schon länger Tenor und Konzert Ukulele. Meistens in Low G in GCEA Stimmung. Der mehr nach Gitarre klingende Sound einer Bariton Ukulele hatte mich schon immer gereizt. Allerdings schreckte mich die DGBE Stimmung immer etwas ab. Doch dann fand ich bei Kmise eine Bariton in GCEA Stimmung. Okay, das geht durch spezielle Aquilla Strings, die wirklich keinen schlechten Eindruck hinterließen. Leider gibt es diese nicht in Low G wodurch der Gitarrensound ein wenig auf der Strecke bleibt. Aber das größere Griffbrett und die Option doch mal auf richtige Baritonsaiten zu wechseln sind für mich die primären Argumente sie zu behalten.Der Körper ist aus einem dünnwandigen Laminat, dass aber wirklich sehr gut verarbeitet ist. Saubere Kanten, Handschmeichelnde Oberflächen, ein gerader Hals der sich zusätzlich per inbus ausrichten lässt und eine wirklich gute Saitenlage sind die Pluspunkte. Die Bundstäbchen sind sauber entgratet und die Markierungen seitlich am Griffbrett helfen bei der Orientierung. Die Stimmwirbel lassen sich gut einstellen und halten gut die Stimmung.Kmise ist der einzige Hersteller, bei dem ich nicht nacharbeiten muss. Und bei all dem Lob fragt man sich, wie Kmise bei dem Kampfpreis auch noch eine brauchbare Tasche, Plektren, Tuner und einen Gurt beilegen konnte. Zusammen mit dem kurzen Manual kann man als Einsteiger mit Sicherheit nichts verkehrt machen. Aber auch der Fortgeschrittene Spieler findet sicherlich Gefallen an dieser sehr günstigen Bariton Ukulele. Gerade in Sachen Griffbrett, Bundstäbchen und Saitenlage können die etablierten Hersteller sich mal eine Scheibe bei Kmise abschneiden. Denn so geht Ukulele. Danke Kmise für die Ukulele und es wird nicht die letzte bleiben. Und ganz klar werde ich sie jedem empfehlen, der ein vernünftiges Instrument zu einem äußerst attraktiven Preis sucht. Und ich kann sie uneingeschränkt jedem empfehlen, der mal das Ukulelen Spiel ausprobieren möchte und im Anfang nicht zu viel investieren will. Und vielleicht liebt man sie auch und bleibt dabei.So kann ich nur fünf Sterne geben. Weiter so Kmise

Il manquait un Ukulélé baryton à ma collection de Ukulélés, pour pouvoir jouer 'autrement' le répertoire de guitare. J'ai opté pour cet instrument extrêmement bon marché sans trop d'attentes et là, la claque!J'ai reçu avec ce Kmise, un Ukulélé baryton incroyablement bon: très facile à jouer (merci au manche en palissandre), juste (diapason correcte) avec une chaleur et une projection fantastiques!Monté d'origine en GCEA, ce qui n'est pas la norme en terme de tonalité pour un baryton, j'ai opéré de suite un changement de cordes: j'ai opté pour des Aquila RED DGBE avec Ré grave.Ainsi monté, j'ai avec ce Kmise un instrument extraordinaire en terme de qualité sonore et de jouabilité qui n'a rien à envier à des instruments nettement plus hauts en gamme.Vraiment, je n'en reviens pas, ayant moi-même fabriqué plusieurs guitares sous l'aile d'un luthier renommé, comment peut-on faire d'aussi bons instruments en usine et à ce prix? Mystère mais en tout cas, je ne regrette nullement mon achat.A ne pas manquer!

Le corde di questo strumento molto probabilmente non sono le aquila super nylgut ma bensì le new nylgut. Dopo pochi minuti di utilizzo la corda del LA si è subito rotta all'altezza del capotasto che molto probabilmente presenta qualche invisibile difetto di levigatura che ha causato il taglio della corda. Infatti sul sito ufficiale del produttore di corde Aquila, nella sezione caratteristiche delle super nylgut, specifica che queste corde sono molto resistenti ad eventuali scheggiature o difetti del capotasto che lo rendono tagliente.Mentre specifica che per le corde new nylgut bisogna fare attenzione perché sono molto delicate e basta un micro difetto di levigatura del capotasto dello strumento che si rompono facilmente. Quindi deduco che le corde montate sullo strumento non siano le super nylgut (come dichiarato sul cartellino nella confezione dello strumento) e ovviamente che il capotasto ha dei micro difetti di levigatura nel solco della prima corda.Ho dovuto con molto rammarico acquistare una nuova muta di corde super nylgut direttamente dal sito del produttore (Aquila) pagandole 9€ più spese di spedizione con corriere.Le ho montate sullo strumento e non hanno dato il minimo problema, anzi il suono risulta anche migliore, molto più dolce e caldo.Nel complesso è uno strumento non male come rapporto qualità prezzo con molti accessori e un suono discreto.Ovviamente il corpo è tutto in laminato e non ha il truss-rod. Il legno della tastiera è molto bello con belle venature, dopo averlo ben ripulito dato che era molto sporco e pieno di polvere intorno ai freets.Il ponte non è incollato un un angolo, infatti ci entra sotto un cartoncino come visibile in foto allegata.La selletta è compensata.Purtroppo non c'è il binding ai bordi del corpo che avrebbe coperto la brutta sezione dove si vedono gli strati del laminato.Solitamente quando il binding è presente lungo la tastiera lo è anche corpo. In questo caso visto che sul corpo non c'è era meglio non metterlo neanche alla tastiera.Il bottone per la tracolla al manico è montato troppo in alto e l'estremità della tracolla da fastidio nel suonare le note alte.Comunque buono come strumento entry level.
