What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Mahogany body
Rounds off the top end. Warmer and thicker-sounding than a laminate maple or plastic-topped uke at this price.
Detail 03
Natural finish
Clear coat over the wood grain. Shows the mahogany rather than hiding it under paint.
Detail 04
No electronics
Purely acoustic. To amplify it you'd need a clip-on pickup or a microphone.

Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is this a good first ukulele?
Yes. Soprano is the standard starting size, the mahogany body sounds better than plastic-bodied starters, and it's under $100.
02What size is a soprano ukulele?
Soprano is the smallest of the four common sizes, roughly 21 inches overall. Concert and tenor are progressively larger with more room between frets.
03Can I plug this into an amp?
Not directly. There's no built-in pickup. You'd add a clip-on or soundhole pickup, or mic it.
04Does it come tuned and ready to play?
It ships playable but will need tuning out of the box, and again over the first week as the nylon strings settle.
