What a surprising little uke! For $32 (with discount) I wasn't expecting a Kamaka but this in not bad at all! Here's why... The build quality is rather good. Of course this uke is cut from the same cloth as other solid colour ukes from the likes of Makala and Mahalo and of the same price range. So don't expect high end finishes. The Spongebob screenprint is excellent and really makes the uke stand out. The setup is good, with decent intonation and action all up the fretboard. This is a decent, playable instrument for the little ones for sure. Sound is the surprising bonus. Word of warning - change out the cheap nylon strings for some lovely resonant strings like Aquilas and the whole character of the sound will transform. With decent strings attached the sound of the uke has a remarkable bright, almost "shimmery" type of sound with great sustain and attack. The pineapple shape of the body give the sound more of a fullness that you don't get on the traditional "figure 8" shape at this price point. I had a Mahalo and a Makala prior to this uke and their sounds are noticeably thinner in tone and shorter in sustain. Spongebob, you Rock! Highly recommended for all ages! Remember though - change those strings!Read full review

Well made little pineapple uke! A piece of cartoon art and a great addition to my uke class when teaching kids! I'm really impressed with how well made it is and not a bad sound for a little soprano uke!

I did not expect too much for what appears to be a 'toy' but when received and after a string change to Aquila along with a setup wherein I lowered the string action at the saddle to 2.5mm at 12th fret and then lowered the nut slots for 'no buzz' intonation. I also sanded the sharp corners of the saddle for fingerpicking comfort. I was pleasantly surprised at the ease of playability & sound after the setup. Fun to play and a nice tone for a Soprano Uke.
