I bought it because I liked the idea of playing a ukulele and it was cheap. Kind of a test drive of sorts. It was pretty good about staying in tune. The intonation was fine although it didn't emit much in the way of volume. The frets were sharp, which tore up my finger nails. Not bad for a first instrument, but it didn't take me long to realize I needed to step up. My current axe is a KoAloha concert ukulele. A beautiful, handcrafted instrument made by a family on Oahu. Graceful look, stunning sound. Sensational customer service, too! I'm not a paid endorser (oh, how I wish), but have a look here: http://www.koaloha.com Have fun strummin' -Iuka Grogg
