If your friend looks around on this ukulele forum he is sure to find tons info on the subject.

I have an Oscar Schmidt OU5 I got for 120 that I'm pleased with. My previous experience with Oscar Schmidt and Washburn guitars were good considering their affordability. The OU5 is a sharp looking instrument, decent quality and super sturdy. It is not fragile at all which is very appealing to me. I have little hands in my house. The only con I have about it is it isn't very bright sounding which may change w/ different strings? One day if I get serious about playing I'd probably upgrade.

Good luck.
