Fun little uke, and absolutely tune-able (just takes a little patience)

This little ukulele has brought so much music to our home. I've subsequently bought two more as gifts. It IS in fact absolutely tuneable and has a good sound; it just takes some patience. When you tune it for the first time you will notice that the strings quickly slacken again and fall out of tune. Just give the strings a day or two to settle. Keep tuning it back up and once the strings have settled they will stay nicely in tune. I last tuned ours weeks ago and I just picked it up and it's still very close to being in tune. Of course, your kid will probably love to play with it regardless of how it sounds. I just mention this for the folks who were disappointed with the tuning. We taught my son to be gentle with the ukulele but it has still taken some knocks and is no worse for wear. On the other hand, my niece managed to bang hers in just the right way to separate the neck from the body of the instrument. It's definitely not indestructible and some of them might be assembled better than others. (Amazon very promptly replaced the broken instrument). Update Nov 2017: Recently it became very difficult to turn two of the tuning pegs. I was disappointed and thought that the gears were stripped. Then I realized we just had to adjust the screws on the back of the tuning mechanisms. I loosened them a tiny bit with a Phillips head screwdriver and the pegs are easy to turn once again.

... Chirstmas gift for my year old granddaughter as she loved playing our guitars

Purchased this as a Chirstmas gift for my year old granddaughter as she loved playing our guitars. The ukulele is well constructed, but it is more like a toy than a real instrument. It is able to be tuned, but quickly loses it's tune over night. Also, it was strung with the strings in the wrong place. Other than that, my granddaughter loves it!

Cute and Well Made Kid Guitar

We purchased two of these for our three year olds' birthdays. They are very cute and well made. Our kids love to play them and belt out their favorite songs. The uk's have endured a fair amount of abuse - throwing, dragging, pulling on the strings - and have help up impressively well. I love that our kids are being introduced to instruments at a young age, and can play a guitar just like dad. Definitely recommend!

Fun Ukulele

I do really like this toy. One of my two year old twin boys really likes musical instruments and he carries this around everywhere playing it. He's not always terribly gentle with it and it holds up to some serious abuse. It's not "cheap". That said, I haven't figure out how to get it to play anything sounding like real music. It's never remotely in tune. I'm not sure it's possible to get it in tune. Still, my two year old likes playing it, he's not making great music with it or anything. He plays with it for hours. So, I'll call it a success for a toy Ukulele.

Great well Ukuele for toddlers and preschoolers.

My youngest son has had an obsession with Ukulele's and banjos since he was 2 weeks old. He loves the tones they make. He was always trying to play grandpa's ukulele and banjos, but we did worry about him damaging the strings. Then while shopping for a book for ukulele children songs, and amazon had this ukulele as a recommendation for us. We purchased it since we believe it would interest him. He loved it and as he gets older he uses it more and more. This ukulele is very well made, it was was very surprising how well made it is. It is sturdy, so its a product you actually feel you got your money's worth from. The color and designs are great and appealing to toddlers. It makes good music and you can tune it. I'll include a pc

Totally worth it!

Our 2yo daughter loved those cheap plastic fishing-line-string ukuleles from the bargain store, but they sound so bad and I was worried the thin strings which constantly popped off would cut her fingers. But this ukulele isn't really that much more expensive yet it is light years better. It's solid (versus a bunch of cheap snap-together plastic), the strings are safely attached and won't just pop out unless you totally unwind them, and it can actually be tuned and sound wonderful! I'm sure there is a big difference between this and a 'professional' ukulele, but I was able to follow along with Youtube instructional videos and a free 'ukulele tuner' smartphone app and get this thing sounding beautiful. After every few days I just pull out the app and it takes about 3 minutes to re-tune this thing, and it's good to go. And now, even her random toddler string-plucking sounds kind of pretty!

This is a fantastic TOY ukelele

This is a fantastic TOY ukelele. I capitalized TOY because some of the reviews seem to be treating this as if it were an actual uke. We've had it for a month, my 3 year old loves it. Sometimes he takes it to bed with him and I can hear him playing it and singing before he falls asleep (best sound ever). We have daily toy uke and kazoo jams. It's well made, bright, cheerful, and fun.

Boy loved it

My Down Syndrome toddler was BEYOND thrilled when he got this, and would...not...put..it...down. By midday on Christmas Day he had managed to loosen the long straight bit (?) from the body of it, but it was being held together by a fairly substantial strip of laminated surfacing, so I just tacked it back with wood glue and hid it from him for a day. It's now April and we're going strong. The best thing about this is that you get a gentle 'strummy' noise from it and not the ghastly electronic cacophony that makes you want to put children out into the yard ...

Adorable little guitar

Purchased for grandbabies. They are always trying to strum on my dad's guitar that I have propped up in a corner in my bedroom when they visit grandma, so I thought this would get their interest. It arrived in a timely manner, well packaged, no dings or dents or broken parts. For the price, it is made pretty good, sturdy enough. It's a very cute and colorful little guitar. The strings are plastic and you can tune them. My grandbabies are three and two so not quite ready to learn to play but rather just want to play with it.

Nice for littles

This was a huge hit for my 3 year old. We bought it for him as a birthday present after he spent months begging for a "little guitar." Its been 3 months since we gave it to him, and he still loves walking laps around the living room playing with it while making up random songs. It is difficult to keep tuned, but that is to be expected with the fine motor skills of a 3 year old playing it. When tuned it actually sounds pretty decent. I'm surprised how well it is holding up too, especially for not being kept in a case, and sometimes dropped on the floor.
