Cute little uke. I think I'll call him "Bob".
I'll admit, I bought it purely for the looks. I wasn't expecting much but was pleasantly surprised. It holds its tune and the accessories are decent, at least the tuner is. Has decent sustain and the notes up the fretboard are close enough for an inexpensive ukulele. Comes with 2 picks (plastic, 1.0mm and 0.71mm) and a microfiber cloth. It does also come with a manual explaining the parts of the uke, a chord chart, and some songs. Don't rely on the chord chart as some diagrams are inaccurate.Pros:- Comes with a padded bag (approximately 7 mm) but there is not much storage space- Tuner is accurate compared to my Snark- Comes with strung with Aquila Supernylgut and an extra set of labeled strings- Side fret markers at 5, 7, and 10th frets- 1 year warranty cardCons:- Frets are a little sharp. I don't have a fret file but a nail file was enough to knock down the burrs.- Strap is useless. There are no buttons and I wouldn't recommend adding one to the bottom because there is no support bar on the inside.UPDATE: After playing it for a few days, it's still holding up well. The strings are still settling so I have to tune it daily but it's not that far off. It's not a loud instrument so you may get drowned out in a group. I think because of its shape as the bridge is on the smaller side of the soundboard, it doesn't resonate as well. Plus, the string action is low - around 2.25mm. As some other reviews mentioned, the fretboard and bridge looked dry but some oil dressed it up nice.

Looks great, has a "unique" tone
It's a pineapple upside-down uke!I originally bought this uke as a prop because of its striking visual appeal. I ended up learning to play the silly thing and even bought two more ukuleles. I still own and enjoy this one as a musical instrument. To my untrained ear it sounds just fine, but to a trained ukelele player it may sound a bit unusual, hence my comment about "unique" tone. The body is similar in shape to a "pineapple uke", but those ukes are wider at the bottom while this one is wider across the top. This definitely affects the tone of the instrument.Note that this is a soprano uke, which has quite small frets. This ukulele got me into playing, so I bought a tenor ukelele which I found much easier to play. Now I learn and practice songs on my tenor uke and then perform them on this one. Even so, five stars--it feels good in the hands, projects sound well, and seems to be holding up just fine to regular playing.

Fun!
Good workmanship. No sharp edges on frets. Decent string height from 12th fret. Nice tone and feel, it brings me back to what I started playing Uke for, fun! It looks great. I call him Wilson ( Tom Hanks volleyball on Castaway) because during this time of Corona virus stranded at home, he is helping me through it!

Great tone and nice design of the body, worth the price
I love its Hawaiian style curves and tattoos, it might be weird at the first glimpse, but it's looking pretty cool and unique to me.The Sapele material provides a good sustaining effect, 2 sound holes make the sound rich and full, classic Aquila strings with impressive volume, very comfortable under the fingers

I have mine hanging from a Ukalele type hook
I just got mine and I took it to a friends place, we played some songs together and it sounded pretty good. They better you can play the better the sound that comes from this Uke. For the money it is a good Uke. I display all of my Ukaleles on a Ukalele hook type

Thank you, San Dona.
There ain't nothing wrong with this uke. Stays in tune. Looks cool. Comes with a tuner and the coolest gig bag in the world. Why don't the local music stores stock these great instruments, or do they thing we really want to pay $200 a pop for uke? Thank you, San Dona, where ever, and who ever, you are.

Cool Looking and Sounds Good but missing a promise
The strap included is for Ukulele's with strap button(s). You can not use the strap they provide unless you buy the buttons and install them yourself. I'm not sure why they do not include the correct type of strap that does not require buttons but get ready for Ukulele gymnastics until you get the right strap.
