Everjoys Soprano Ukulele Beginner Kit 21 Inch Ukelele w/How

I bought this for my teenage daughter. The ukulele is good for beginners, along with the booklet and the tuner. The booklet is just 4 pages, but it shows how to hold the ukulele and how to strum, and all the chords, which is basically all you need to know. The only issue was that at first tuning the strings took a very long time and the first few days it had to be tuned every couple minutes. My daughter did a bit of research online and realised that new strings often need a few days to get used to being stretched. This is apparently fairly common with most ukuleles, and after the first few days the ukulele only needs to be tuned once a day or so, which makes playing a lot more joyful, and my daughter has already learned a couple of chords. There are a couple of reviews here which say that the instrument had to be tuned every couple of minutes, if people were made aware that this should improve after a few days it would have saved them a lot of frustration, and the seller some returns. Someone also said there was no battery for the tuner or they couldn’t find it at first. It is there, not in the tuner, but separately in the box and might be easily overlooked.

Four stars because I suppose people who are knowledgeable about musical instruments will see some differences to an expensive ukulele. However for people like us who have never played a string instrument before and want to learn the basics and are not sure whether their kids will keep at it or lose interest after a while I think it is very good value for money, and I would happily recommend it.
