We bought this as a toy guitar for my 2 1/2 year old son. He LOVES it! and we are quite happy with the purchase as well. It is standing up to a rambunctious kid and his little sister and it has a pleasant sound as well (mind you I wouldn't think this is much of an instrument for a serious musician but then for this cost - who would?). The downsides from a toy perspective are that the screws on the tuning pegs are rough which means it can scratch surfaces (ie coffee table) if the child isn't careful. Also we bought this for christmas and luckily received it a few weeks ahead of time so were able to put it up in the attic to air out outgas - the paint was particularly stinky when it arrived - makes me worry a little about what it was painted with -- since it isn't marketed as a childs toy they don't have the same regulations on product safety.

We purchased this as a toy for our two year-old, who loves guitars. He absolutely loves it! It's the perfect size for him. I don't think the overall appearance is high quality (crooked frets, streaks and smudges in the finish), but it does well as a toy. I don't know how well it would do as an actual instrument; we've tried to tune it, but it doesn't stay very well.

I bought two of these for my grandchildren who wanted to learn to play. I was an avid player at their age. Well, the ukeles will not stay tuned no matter how tight the screws are set. After one song, you lose your tuning. The girls lost interest in playing the chords they knew because they couldn't finish a song keeping the things tuned. both the same flaw. AdB

My review of the Woodstock Music Collection's Sopranino Ukulele. I forgot to mention the smell. Yes, as many reviewers have noted, it does have a strong turpentine/gasoline odor. It dissipates over time, but takes a while!

I had to break out the toolbox to secure the tuning pegs enough to get the uke in tune. Other than that, it was a well-built instrument.

I bought this Ukulele for my grand daughter who wanted "a guitar" but is really not old enough to get her fingers around the neck of a guitar. It is well made and played pretty well. It is pretty well made, stays in tune and plays OK. Not for the serious musician, but good for what it costs.

This is a great ukulele to have for a beginner. My son is learning to play and enjoying himself. Great purchase and a lot of fun.

I bought this for my 3 year old since she loves Taylor Swift so much. I knew before it arrived that it would be poorly made and about the size of a toy, yet somehow I was still displeased when this item arrived. Thankfully, I didn't receive the Pink one that others have, but I felt like one hard days play with this 'guitar' and it would be broken. The fact that the strings were nylon didn't help its cause.

You know the saying 'a penny wise and a pound foolish'? That sums up this experience. I immediately returned this item (thanks Amazon) and went to Ebay and bought another that was only $5 more. I have since received that one and not only was it a few inches longer but had real strings, pick, bridge, the works. This one can be tuned and enjoyed for quite some time. (Best part? the new one looks exactly like Taylor's guitar, just mininature)

My 2 year old loves to play musical instruments. I bought this because it was simple and in a good price range for a 2 year old. The strings do seems flimsy and are plastic. This would not be a good purchase for someone that is serious about playing the ukele. I think that this is the perfect buy for what we need, which is something for our 2 year old to play with. His older siblings also like to play it as well.

We loved this guitar for our child until it broke at the joint between the base and the neck. Can't return since we threw out the packaging already.
