Applause UAE20 Acoustic-Electric Deluxe Soprano Ukulele  

My parents bought this ukulele for me for Christmas, they ordered it about a month before Christmas and it got here 6 days after it was paid for, and I live in Australia! The ukulele has a great sound with or with out amps & plugs in really well to my miniature amp & works equally as well with a bigger amplifier. Brilliant design, far better than in the pictures, the strings have a great sound, they slip out of tune but that's expected with the original strings. Simple, easy to use electronic controls. Sounds brilliant acoustically. All up a brilliant investment in a brilliant looking and awesome sounding ukulele.

I bought this about a year ago. My friends love it. It is fun to play and projects well. Sounds great with a thin pick. Electrically is isn't the best, which is a reason why I gave it a 4/5 in quality. The highest string (A string) doesn't get picked up well through the electronics. This is probably just the placing of the internals, and might not apply to all ukuleles. Also, the neck isn't really secure. Mine got sat on "gently," and the neck snapped right off. It was an easy fix, but it showed me how it was attached. After I used some wood glue and a bunch of clamps, it worked and sounded better than ever. Be warned, it is very small. Overall, pretty good uke. I would play before I purchase. Also, it doesn't record all that well. If you want a recording uke, purchase a tenor or concert size, which (in my experiences) project a lot better.

This is a very nice ukulele.  My friend bought me one and I liked it but it was a cheap one so I went searching for a new one.  I found this one and thought " Hey this would be nice" so I order it and it arrives.  The only problem I found out was that it doesn't stay in tune very long until you've used it for a while.  It is also not very loud when you play it without an amp, which is a down side.
