Classic Cantabile BeachBuddy Black Beauty, Soprano Ukulele ABS

the ukulele is pretty and the workmanship is solid. What strikes me negatively is that you have to tune it again and again, because the sides turn back automatically. Actually, you can play a song and may already tune again.

You have to evaluate the instrument from the point of view of the price-performance ratio. I was looking for a so-called outdoor ukulele. This one is made entirely of ABS, with the exception of the tuning machines and the strings. This makes it insensitive to moisture, dryness or thermal fluctuations. Despite this material it sounds relatively full-bodied. The zero fret and its distance to the actual saddle bridge takes some getting used to. At the beginning I picked, as usual, directly behind the bridge and thus still before the 1st fret bar. But in the meantime it works. The bridge is not absolutely firmly connected with the top. So there is a small gap between the bridge and the soundboard when you tighten the strings while tuning. This makes tuning a bit annoying and leads to slight tuning fluctuations, which are amplified by the strings. I have nevertheless left these for the first time, because the sound is not bad at all. Considering the price and comparing the ukulele with an American outdoor ukulele 20 times more expensive, one can fully recommend this instrument despite small shortcomings without reservation.

Top ukulele to take on vacation, can take a beating and for the money the ultimate travel ukulele.
Sound, although the uke is made of ABS, very good. So buy this ukulele and the holidays can begin.

Fast delivery, product as described. One point deduction for the sharp edges at the corners where the fingerboard merges into the end piece and there is virtually a zero fret, which takes a lot of getting used to.

I was very satisfied with delivery.Since it is a gift for grandson, I can not give a judgment on the quality. I was guided by the positive judgments.
