The reviews about these ukuleles being *waaay* out of tune make me giggle. Of course they are! No guitar-like instrument ever comes tuned right out of the box. Be happy it was pre-strung!
Having said that, yes. It is very out of tune out of the box. However, it hasn't taken too long for the detuning to be less often and dramatic for my ukulele. I received it last night, and tonight it's already holding its tuning more consistently. I know it'll be even better as the days go on. You just have to keep tuning and playing, and eventually the nylgut strings will stretch and will start to hold their tuning.
All in all, this is a great ukulele, and I highly recommend it for first-time or long-time players!

It is shiny and looks beautiful. We got the black one and we are not disappointed. It came with a carry bag wth a short strap. The bag does not provide much protection and is thin. It is nice to store the ukulele in and keep off the dust. The instrument was easy to tune and has a good sound. My other daughter has a much more expensive one and this one compares equally. A nice place to start!

The instrument upon close inspection had a few minor cosmetic issues, the paint was thin in spots and there was a small scar from where a bubble was. To me, that's not a big deal, especially for the price. The instrument is definitely made of wood, contrary to some comments and reports. The wood isn't very resonant compared to more expensive ukes, but is still punchy and has enough volume to carry a decent distance. The action isn't too high and it's easy to play.
This is great for learners and casual ukulele players alike. If you're a new player, I strongly advise having someone who knows what they're doing set it up for you as it takes a bit more time to set up than other ukes. However, it's not a huge deal in the hands of an expert. The strings are serviceable, and just need to have the usual light stretching to bring life to them. Patience is key here, and there's plenty of online sources that will show you how to do this just right.
I have heard rumors that some colors sound better than others. That may or may not be true, but if it is, the difference is negligible at best as I played other colors and they all performed about the same.
I do recommend this ukulele, especially for the price. A little know-how goes a long way here just so you know.

I thought Mahalo ukulele would be good but itz truly disappointed me. I have no option here to back this product and go for another. I really spoil my Money here....
Pros:
The nylon strings are great for beginners as they are easy on the fingers. If you have never played an instrument in the string family, have no fear! Chords are quite easy to play, and you’ll be learning songs in no time. You also won’t have to worry to much about it breaking with young kids, it won’t break the bank and has already taken a couple drops and still looks and sounds great.
Cons:
Have to tune it very often but this is made easy with a free app on your smart phone. Maybe will take you a minute once you get the hang of it.
All in all I would recommend
