Concert Ukulele Mahogany DUC-1 23 inch with Ukulele Set Strap Nylon String Tuner

I am loving this ukulele. I’m a beginner so I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. At the same time I wanted a ukulele that had a reasonable level of quality. This ukulele is the right balance for me. It has a nice sound. After 1 week of tuning it several times a day it is holding its tune for several hours. I appreciate the clip on tuner for times when I’m not at home with my piano. The case is of good quality and looks very nice. There are buttons for the strap to attach to so there is no need to attach a strap each time you use it. Just one thing - the picks are plastic and I’m told that they should be felt. All in all I am very happy with it. I think it’s a good ukulele for a beginner.

I've been wanting a ukulele all winter. I'm a 67 year old lady who has played guitar for a few decades. Totally self-taught, and strictly a chord strummer. I'd put off ordering a ukulele, but a week ago, when I asked my daughter in law what I should get my soon-to-be granddaughter for her birthday, she said, "She's been wanting a ukule for so long!" So, I took the plunge, and last week I ordered TWO of these Donner Concert Ukeleles... one for my granddaughter and one for myself. My granddaughter has never had any formal training on musical instruments. A few years ago I taught her a couple of chords on the guitar but that's it. When I gave her the uke I had printed out the chords to a few popular songs I knew she liked and showed her the basics. 24 hours later she came up to my house and I was stunned at how well she was playing these songs! I, too, found it quite easy to learn to play the thing, although it took my brain a bit longer to "re-learn" how to play chords on the uke as they were totally different than the guitar. But she and I were playing duets! Our 37 year old daughter was visiting today. She wanted me to play a song on the uke. I did, and she wanted to try. She had piano lessons as a kid and nothing more. I showed her a few chords and within a half hour she was easily playing Vance Joy's "Riptide." She was so excited and wanted to get a uke of her own, so I ordered a THIRD one of these today. As for the uke... the case it came in is very nice. Comes with an extra set of nylon strings and also a digital uke tuner, which can also tune a guitar, banjo, bass, and a few other stringed instruments. The uke itself was the perfect size. I couldn't imagine trying to play the smaller soprano size, and I didn't want bigger one since I have a bigger acoustic guitar. When first tuning the uke, you might find it easier to use a keyboard to make sure you're getting those loose nylon strings on the correct octave. If you don't have a keyboard, you can find videos on youtube that will help you tune it. After you get them in tune the first time, it becomes much easier using the digital tuner. When you first start playing you'll have to be retuning those strings every few minutes, to get the "stretch" out of them. I found that after two days of playing, the strings stayed in tune much better than the first day. I love the sound of it. It's nicely made and an all-round FUN little instrument to play! The only thing negative is a very minor one... the directions that come with the digital tuner are so small you'd need a jeweler's loop or good magnifying glass to read them. I had to put the sheet on my scanner and blow it up 150% and copy it so I could actually read the thing! Since I had no experience with a digital tuner, it was essential to read the directions. However, as stated earlier, you can get help with this at youtube if you're new to them. So now Grandma, daughter, and granddaughter are hooked on this ukulele. Looks like there'll be some fun times around the campfires this summer!

Great value for money, fantastic starter pack!

This is a very nice ukulele. Handsome traditional style, nice sounding and no quality control issues at all. Better quality gig bag and distinctive. Working tuner. My only complaint is the quality of the strap but that does not affect my liking of the uke. I have several ukes and they all have good and bad points. This one is probably one of the best for what it offers. No uke is any good if it sounds bad. This one has a nice tone with the provided strings and it is worth experimenting with warmer or brighter strings if you want to. I knew Donner had a good reputation for value and quality control and this one encourages me to purchase another model. One thing to note. It has a wider neck nut at 38mm and 30mm string spacing. This makes it easier to play if you have normal to larger hands. I have a higher end uke with a 34mm nut, the more traditional width, and it is not as comfortable to play. It is hard to find models with this wider nut so keep that in mind when deciding on a purchase. Recommended.
