Gidday,

most ukes are pretty good,the cheaper ones tend to have cheap strings,
so best to replace them with good ones.
OR spend a bit more on a med price uke.
Also if you`re a beginner maybe get a concert or tenor size not a soprano.
get your self a tuner as well  they are cheap  no use playing an out of tune uke.
lets know how u get on?

Re: ukuleles

I bought my daughter a Hi Lo for 20.00. It broke a string and hasn`t been used since. Then I bought her a Kulai? I think. When she started to get serious with it. It is an acoustic electric with good woods. She loves it and it lasts 3 years later. It was a medium priced one without mentioning numbers.

Welcome to Chordie!  Pick a song from the index or any of the public songbooks, on the right side of the page you will see the light blue menu box and simply choose Ukelele (and your tuning) in the transpose section.  It should automatically change the chords and grids to reflect your choice.

Have fun!
