Amazing Fun

UkuleleDad 26.11.2020

Disclaimer - I've only been playing for about 6 months so am no expert. This is my first electric instrument.

This ukulele is super fun, is very solid and produces a nice range of sounds through a suitable amp. Can be played like a traditional uke or be used to rock out. Nice to be able to play with headphones on to avoid disturbing others. The action is also very pleasing and is much easier to play than the other standard ukes I own (and actually led me to adjust those once I realised how much easier it is to play barre chords on this thing!).

It also looks lovely.

Very happy with this purchase and would recommend to anyone interested in a purely electric uke.

Not bad but not great

Dodgy D 17.04.2020

I'm an intermediate level uke player and got this for fun and so I can strum at night without disturbing the family.

Pros
Looks really nice
has aux in, headphone socket and traditional 1/4" jack.
Edit! I've had it a few weeks now and a new Corona Virus Lockdown positive is that it's good for Zoom sessions with others.
You can run the computer audio into your uke and then listen to the uke and the computer audio via headphones. Doing this gives you separate control over the volume of both the Zoom session and your uke so you can get a nice mix.

Cons
Action is very high. Bridge is too high for my taste.
The 'A' string is a bit too close to edge of neck so (my) fingers can slip off - tends to happen when doing 'pull-offs'.
The 'A' string is also a bit quiet when 'amped'. I've heard people online suggest that this can happen if the pickup is notbe lined up well - or just not a great pick-up.

For £100 it's OK but nothing to get too excited about.

Sweet lttle "devil"

Anonymous 03.11.2014

I was hardly expecting this ukulele to arrive. It came fast, well protected as always from Thomann and my first contact with this little beauty was very nice. It is well made, solid wood with extremely nice finish, no sharp edges, looking better then expected.
Action is a bit high, but had experience with much higher action on more expensive models. After tuning, fun started when plugged in. This uke is powerful. Really powerful. Volume and tone buttons work well, holds intonation so far, despite it is not set up fully. Very useful are AUX/MP3 inputs.
Since I already mention action, this can easily be set with some minor setup, which will also remove slight presence of buzz on 2nd fret of the C string, which can be heard while playing unplugged and is not transmitted to the amp.

Overall, a special little beast, real eye-catcher and soft and easy to play! I do recommend!

Quite nice instrument

D. Kim 31.03.2018

I am surprised with the quality of sound from the strings. It is pleasant enjoying the Uke practice every night in my apartment without interfering with my neighbors' sleeping.

The only thing that makes me annoyed is that there's a white noise from the earphone jack in all range of the volume setting. I tried with 4 different types of headphones and earphones but I could not cancel the noise.
I am not sure if it is the normal phenomenon of every electric instrument. I hope I could have a solution for the earphone noise.

I have not tried it with an amplifier yet, therefore hopefully there might be better sound with plugging in.
