A real cheap uke

kazooka 19.02.2020

As a guitar player that occasionally wants a different sound i wanted a uke to play every so often. Obviously not being a full time player i didn't want to spend big so got the cheapest one from my local music shop. which can be played but is more a toy than an instrument.

This was the only REAL instrument i could find under 100AUD and it is spectacular.

Pros
looks great
natuaral satin wood finish feels nice to touch
Nice sound
ready to play out of the box, action is low but not too low to get fret buzz.

Cons
i'd prefer chrome tuning pegs over black plastic (note just the pegs are plastic the tuners are metal)

Nice little bargain

Gabriel3017 19.02.2015

This instrument was so cheap that when I ordered it I really wasn't expecting much, but what a nice surprise it has been! Sure there are a few spots of dodgy finishing work and the tuners needed a tightening, but overall this actually feels like a really solid instrument. I've recently taken up teaching the ukelele and wanted to upgrade from my rather toylike Falcon uke (that came free with a subscription to Guitar Techniques) for a while but didn't really want to take the plunge on one of the more upmarket models due to the price. After reading a few reviews of the harley benton I thought I'd give it a shot. This is a really solid instrument and I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone looking for a first ukelele or even just a cheap backup to lug around and not worry about it getting a bit beaten up. Thoroughly impressed!

Gutes Preis- / Leistungsverhätlniss

Tomba76 28.03.2019

Gutes Instrument um einfach einmal einzusteigen und auszuprobieren. Die Ukulele ist sauber verarbeitet und spielbereit. Die Saiten die drauf sind durchaus spielbar und somit gleich ein positiver Eindruck. Es ist klar dass man zu dem Preis kein Top-Instrument bekommt, aber dennoch etwas durchaus ordentliches. Der Sound ist vollkommen ok und als Einstieg ein Instrument zum empfehlen.

Great for the money

Robert269 25.10.2013

I'm not a hardcore ukulele player and the fact is that I bought this for my son. I thought that he should have a "real" instrument and not one of the sorry excuses you can buy at the toy stores.
This is a real instrument at a toy price. The tone is very nice and the sound is strong. My own Bruko does sound a tad better and the finish is also better, but the UK-10S is not far behind and cost 1/3 of my Bruko.
So... If you take this for what is, a low budget instrument, it's quite surprising how good it sounds. Recommended.

Good Ukulele

LeeOliveira 12.04.2017

this is not the first and will not be the last time i bought and Harley Benton instrument. A good Ukulele at a good price.

Construction is very good and despite the low price point it does not feel cheap in the hand. neck is very comfortable and chord are easy to perform.

To my hears sound is very good, at this price point i can't figure what other Ukulele can beat the UK-10S. Definitely i'd put this one in the 150's euros price range, rich deep sound.

I'd recommend this one to anyone trying Ukulele for the first time or even to anyone wanting a second cheap one and not giving up in the sound

I gave the ukulele 4 out of 5 stars as its my first ukulele to purchase so I wasn't sure of what to expect. however, in my opinion its perfect for beginners it arrived quickly and was a good price for a decent instrument. It was delivered in great care also and had no damage to it what so ever! since I've gotten it it has given me no hassle and i am now flying at learning it and definitely will purchase more from Thomann when I become better skilled !

Nice sound, frets stick out

Winnetou 17.08.2018

Nice little package, with the only gripe being the frets stick out on the sides of the fretboard. Actually they're sticking out more and more, so I assume the wood is shringing slightly.

Sound is nice, but needs some afterwork to have it playable

Perfect for school

MCon 31.05.2019

I use these Ukulele's in the classroom. The students love them. Better size than the soprano in my opinion, especially for teenage boys! Sound quality is very good, considering the price. Will definitely be buying more.

Great starter Uke

GregF 05.05.2017

I bought this for a friend who I convinced to take up Ukulele when she found guitar too difficult.

This Uke turned out to be excellent for the money. It came with a good action; very very good considering the cost. Sounds well, easy to play. Looks fine - doesn't look as cheap as it is.

The frets ends feel slightly rough if you rub your fingers over them, but you don't feel it when you're playing so it doesn't matter at all.

A great starter ukulele.

Good for beginner

Aspirer 04.10.2018

This is my first music instrument of any type. I am an absolute beginner.
Initially the strings got loosened easily and got out of tune frequently. Its only few days since i bought. I still find it not comfortable to hold. Sound is good for my level of expertise.
There were troubles with the delivery from UPS, but manageable.
