This little green Fazely Soprano Ukulele is outstanding value for such a low price. I have seen others brands for sale at nearly twice the price that are simply toys. This fazely as with all ukes, will need the strings stretched to enable stable tuning (for the non experienced check videos on line how to do this...very simple task). This instrument is very well made with a lovely appearance, and excellent tuner keys. Intonation is spot on all the way up the neck, which is a great bonus. This is a present for a young beginner, and frankly I did not expect it to be so good. Remember, for those of you inexperienced with stringed instruments, do learn to stretch those strings. I am aware of so many reviews where ukes, guitars etc are returned because strings will not stay in tune. Mind you, this one was almost in tune out of the box. So, if looking looking for a quality instrument, at a toy price then this is worthy of your consideration. Just get one while they are available. Bax Music I have found to be a company who offer super value and service. Almost bomb proof packaging and very fast delivery. No, I am not a Bax Music employee, just an experienced guitarist and stringed instrument player/repairer.
