This review is from: Oscar Schmidt Ou13 Soprano Ukulele, Spruce/Rosewood

After recieving this uke in the mail, I thought I was sent the wrong one. There is this sort of "pearl" outline through the uke, and it says "aloha" on the neck. If I had seen these things, I wouldn't have spent $100 on it. But, as I look closer at the picture, it is the same uke, just hard to see. Also, the uke looks very plastic due to its severe glossing.

But, even though it looks nothing like I thought it would, it has a really nice sound. Doens't sound very much like a toy, and has a great volume. The strings took a while to settle into place after tuning them over and over, but now have a very sturdy pitch.

Overall, this is a great beginners uke, but beware, it's VERY glossy.

This ukelele has a fine finish, nicely made with tropical woods (in Malasia, I hope the wood is sourced from an eco-friendly company), with a sweet and loud tone. I am still breaking in the strings, which is normal, but strongly recommend this model as an excellent investment and a lot of fun to play. The fretboard is nicely made with even frets and a pretty dark wood.
Great purchase.
