The quality is good for the price that was asked
Honestly? Everything came in as was said, main shipping box was damaged when received, though I feel that has nothing to do with the items.The sound quality is fairly good, and it's been a blast to learn! Like the others have stated, the string get out of time fairly quickly, but that's okay!

Doesnโt come with battery in tuner!
I really enjoy this product and I think itโs great for beginners. It is super easy to learn and Iโm loving it. I was disappointed when I had to download a tuner on my phone since the tuner that came with this didnโt come with a battery. I will say that it needs to be tuned after every 30 minutes of use, not sure if that a product malfunction or just how new ukuleles are. I would recommend!

***A Solid Quality Instrument Perfect For Starting Out & Beyond***
I got this 21" Economic Soprano Ukulele Start Pack by ADM for my wife who is a musician of many sorts. This review is based on her experience using the product. Ukuleles are a string instrument made from a hollow soundboard and four strings. They look like a mini guitar. They have an hourglass base and a fingerboard neck. Often, ukulele manufacturers make the strings from stainless steel or nylon, and the instrument's tuning should be (in order) the notes of G, C, E and A. Most ukuleles have wood construction. However, musicians may find less expensive versions built from plastic. There are a variety of models including: soprano, concert, armadillo, pineapple, banjo tenor and baritone. This Ukulele is a soprano version that has a basswood body and nylon strings. As a musician my wife said that that this is quality constructed instrument. It's not top of the line mind you but it's a good solid instrument perfect for starting out and beyond. Other features of the instrument include a black neck fingerboard with sturdy brass frets (a total of 12 altogether). The frets are marked at the 5th, 7th & 10th levels. The tuners are chrome plated metal with plastic buttons and look like that of a guitar. They are just as sturdy as the rest of the instrument. This set comes with a pink holding bag, a shoulder strap that can be taken on and off, 2 picks, extra white nylon string in case a string needs to be replaced, an orange polishing cloth to keep the instrument shining and a digital tuner. They even included the battery for the tuner. The instrument is remarkably lightweight. This in combination with the nylon strings makes this instrument a good choice for children who are learning. Aside from the features there is another huge consideration that speaks of what a nice instrument this is. It's a soprano ukulele. It has the highest pitch of all of the ukulele's. It has a clear and joyful sound but has limited resonance and amplification. This is the kind of instrument that you would use in small entertainment venues and/or for personal enjoyment in the home. A few things to keep in mind in regards to this instrument. The strings need to be tightened when it arrives. You do this by turning the 4 white knobs towards you. Turning them away from you loosens the strings. Unless you have an excellent ear you WILL need to use the digital tuner. Figuring that out can be a bit of a challenge if you have never done it before so I suggest that you consult a musical store for a one on one instruction or watch a you tube video. Once you do it one time it comes naturally after that. The most tuning the instrument needs is when you first get it. After that you can pick a set frequency and just do it at the designated times. There is one thing about ukulele's in general that most certainly applies to this instrument as well. Their sound quality increases with time as they age. What it sounds like when it first arrives isn't exactly what it will sound like a few weeks or months down the road. With time the sound becomes richer. My wife just received the instrument a few days ago so she's still in the initial fine tuning stage. Right now the sound quality is lovely and she stated it was easy to play. She recommends using the picks because they help protect the skin on the fingers from irritation. The only improvement that my wife could suggest was the carrying case. She felt that if the case were firmer that it would protect the instrument better from damage. This is truly a beautiful instrument. It comes in a variety of colors. My wife's is pink. The price is affordable. It would be a wonderful gift for child or adult alike. My wife specifically mentioned that this would be perfect to use in schools during music class. Usable by musicians of ALL levels. It really provides so much for such a small instrument! My wife saw Tiny Tim sing "Tiptoe Through The Tulips" while playing the ukulele as a child. This whole experience has been both fun an nostalgic for her.I was provided this product at no cost to me in exchange for an honest unbiased evaluation.

Cute instrument for beginners and curiosity.
The ukulele comes already strung so it is ready to be explored upon opening. The strings are lightweight plastic material and are loose, so tuning is required. Thanks to the included digital tuner this is not a large chore. The tuner includes a battery that is loose in the small box it comes in, so that was another plus.The finish is essentially intact and not bearing any major flaws that might be a deal breaker, but it does have that "you get what you pay for" quality to it, but that could be attributed to the quality of wood versus craftmanship, but I am not an experienced musician or craftsman.The sound is much like I would expect, but again, I am not an experienced musician. It does a fair job. The quality makes me believe it is meant for light use or practice. Not performing professionally.The case it comes with opens across the bottom so you have to slide it over the instrument opposed to unzipping and setting inside and zipping shut. The strap on the case is not meant for adult shoulders. It is just a strap to hold onto. A child could probably wear it on their shoulder to carry if they were small enough. The instrument is really lightweight.There is one negative comment I must mention and that is the smell of the product. I opened the box and could detect a chemical-like packaging smell. It wasn't overpowering in an open room, but I had to bring it in my car and with the windows rolled up I began to get a headache from it. I suspect that it is mostly from the carrying case and I would separate them and let them air out before giving to children right away. I don't know if it is truly harmful, but getting a headache after a 10 minute drive didn't inspire much confidence. After mine airs out for a couple days I will be happier. The smell is what reduces this item from a 5 star to a 4.

Didn't expect much from the price but at least it's playable
I can understand not having a high quality instrument for the given price, but I still feel like I should share the shortcomings that you're getting with this product. The actual strings are never in tune. After playing one song I have to try to tune them again to get the right sounds which is uncommon in string instruments. I can see this throwing a beginner off knowing that they'll be playing with an untrained ear.The wood quality is ok, no real complaints on the intrument itself. I ordered it in black and the design is nice and slick. Again, the main concern is still sound quality.

It's so cute!
I bought the powder blue ukulele to go on my wall next to the mint green ukulele I purchased last summer. It's so pretty, the finish is lovely and is perfect for my costal theme room. While I don't play, plucking the strings produced a clear and solid sound. The ukulele came with replacement supplies and a carrying bag. The instrument is pretty well made, it's not flimsy or poorly assembled.

Cute and cery beiginner friendly
My sister bought this a few months ago and at first we thought it was a toy but it is a real ukelele, the only thig is that the place to save the ukelele is not as describe in the image (ins not pink is like a black bag instead of a ukelele shape), but besides that it sounds good and looks pretty cool

VERY IMPRESSED.
I own several ukuleles and a friend wants to learn, so I bought one of these for her Christmas gift. Let me tell you I am extremely impressed. ENTIRELY DISREGARD reviews or concern with "tuning issues" or "holding a tune". The strings are brand new and yes, go out of tune very quickly at first, but this is the same for any new strings. Any ukulele strings need to be "broken in", strummed a lot, and stretched out for a while until they're ready to go for longer periods between tuning. This is the nature of these kinds of strings.That non-issue aside this little ukulele has extremely clear sound, has a beautiful glossy paint job (I got the teal/green one for my friend) and comes with a phenomenal set of extras (gig bag, strings, tuner!, instructional dvd...)I couldn't recommend this enough as a great starter kit or one for kicking around camping, road trips, etc.Don't fear the negative reviews, don't question the amazing price, just, go for this kit. Double thumbs up, WILL buy from again.

Awesome price and amazing product
This came with everything shown in the picture. I bought this ukulele for my wife and i, and we've been watching youtube vids to learn a few songs. The strings do get out of tune real quick when you first get it, but you just have to work it in. We've had this for a month now, and the strings stay in tune a lot better than when we first got it.Cute little instrument, would def recommend for beginners and people that just what to have fun

Best choice for a beginner
This ukulele package is high quality and inexpensive with gig bag, tuner, strap and note stickers. In addition, it is easy to play and shows a clear and nice tone. It is a best choice for a beginner like me. Now I am studying by myself through watching videos in youtube. Fighting!

Great value
Purchased this for our Grandaughter. Took heed of the reviews mentioning tuning problems but have experience with nylon string guitars so expected they would stretch. Yes, tuning can be challenging and the strings will stretch (and knots tighten) when new but they should settle with some time. The instrument itself is certainly good enough for the price and is playable. The extras (strings, gig bag, pick, tuner & polishing cloth) that come in the package are also good value. I was actually impressed with the clip on tuner. Works well. Hard to knock this kit for the price. If it gets dropped into the bottom of the toy box, no big deal. Alternatively, it is actually good enough to learn on if she so chooses. My wife enjoyed my strumming of "Somewhere over the rainbow" as I was tuning it up.

Hard to tune
My daughter received this for her birthday. It is extremely difficult to tune. With the included tuner it helps a bit. In the end we are unable to tune all the strings.Iโm no pro, but wondering if it comes down to the string quality.
