NateNate: Super ukulélé pour débutants mais définitivement, nous avons eu de beaucoup de difficulté à l'accorder. Avec l'avis d'un musicien, ils nous faudra changer complètement les cordes car la qualité n'est pas top. Mise a part ça, il est wow. Le design est superbe.

t.glo: This Uke is gorgeous, and sounds great! I read many of the 1 star reviews to see what the common complaints were. Many were with regard to tuning. People need to know that new stringed instruments need to be "broken in". New strings need to be gently stretched. This is achieved by tuning frequently and playing your instrument! Bought 2 for our toddlers and they are the perfect size. The only "problem" is the kids don't get a chance to play because my husband and I are obsessed with them! LOVE LOVE LOVE

C. Etana Finkler: HIGHLY RECOMMEND this soprano UKE!!!
I read recommendations about known-brand name uses on the various Facebook groups I belong to, but this little HOLA! soprano is the ukulele I use every day, the one I pick up to play, and it makes me smile. I've owned it for more than a year now. I bought it for travel, because this Soprano is smaller than my Concert uke to fit in a suitcase, but I find that this is the uke I play everyday.

I first bought this and the C-----ba U100SM Soprano to compare them, expecting to keep the C... but it was tinny and flimsy compared to the sound (tone & projection) and workmanship of this HOLA! I'd first seen a review of 10 best inexpensive ukuleles to buy on Amazon over at Youtube. This HOLA! was rated highest.... I also like the size of this Soprano fretboard for reaching the chords; don't find it too small at all. (I am a senior citizen female with medium size fingers...). I'm just about to tackle the E cord and find that my fingers can reach it.

PROS
- full, rich, complex tone with incredible projection
- low action makes it easy to get the chords clear
- stays in tune amazingly (after the first month of daily playing to...

Christopher: I got this ukulele for my four-year-old son and I and I am very pleased with it. I have only purchased one ukulele, but for the research we did this seems like a great deal for the price. PROS: I am satisfied with how long it stays in tune. The slotted bridge seems like it will minimize frustration while changing strings. The intonation is surprisingly good. Octaves stay in tune well until you approach fret 10-12. The tone is pleasant. Very impressed with the appearance - bound edges on the body, outlined sound hole, and black tuning knobs make it stand out in terms of appearance among ukuleles of similar and even higher price. We appreciated the fact that it came with a soft-shell case because it helps communicate to my son that this is an instrument and not a toy. Strap for the instrument works great and is easy to adjust. Picks are a bonus. The soprano size is proportionate to his body. CONS: The ukulele fits in the case, but it is a little difficult to get it in. It would be helpful is the case was slightly longer that we we wouldn't have to fidget with the head of the ukulele to get it settled into the case. Once it is in the case zips up easily.

Again, I can't review...

Naomi Sutton: If this is your first uke, keep in mind that nylon (plastic) strings are standard even on professional instruments, and that they will need time to stretch (at least a day and up to a few weeks, depending on how much you play) before they will stay in tune.

MATERIALS
I wasn't expecting much at this price point, so I was pleasantly surprised.
+ The body seems to be made of actual wood rather than the plastic-wood laminate I was expecting. Plastic is easier to care for, but wood gives a richer sound.
= The frets and tuning gears are made of real metal.
= The binding, nut, bridge, strings and knobs are made of genuine plastic.
= The strings (high G at the top, followed by middle C, E and A) do come with a cardboard Aquila tag attached, as in the picture. The main selling point for Aquila strings is that they bring out the best in a cheap ukulele, but I'm not sure if that's necessary in this case.

WORKMANSHIP
This is where it seems the manufacturer cut corners to keep the price low. Most of the defects are only cosmetic, and the rest were easily fixed.
- Inside the body, at the top and bottom edges of the sound hole, there were some splinters. It was...
