Giannini GCSM10 Handcrafted Series Cavaquinho (Acoustic) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm a forro fan and a guitar player, and I decided to take the plunge and buy the Giannini hand crafted model.
I've read mixed reviews about Giannini cavaquinhos on message boards, but this is one of the finest instruments I have ever played. I absolutely love it. The action and intonation are refined. It resonates beautifully. Solid rosewood sides and back. It FEELS and sounds like a great instrument, and the finishing is beautiful.
I have the less expensive Giannini GCSM 4 CTE cavaquinho. It's a decent little beater, but this is a vastly superior instrument. I sold my GCSM 4 to get another one of these because I liked it so much.
I can honestly say is a pleasure to play. I'm enthusiastic to play it.

Lanikai S-TEQ Solid Spruce Series Tenor Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Ukulele Gloss Natural Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow! This uke has fantastic resonance and sound projection. This is WITHOUT amplification. The action came adjusted fairly low and will not require adjustment. It is a delight to play and will likely be a favorite of mine for quite some time. Amplifier is scheduled to arrive next week, but expect the uke to excel with it. Probably will not update unless the amplification does not meet my expectations.
Decided to add a tenor ukulele due to my pudgy fingers having difficulty with some chords on the smaller ukes. The ease of play is better than anticipated.
I do not believe it possible to be anything but delighted with the S-Teq!

Lanikai O-8 Ovangkol Series 8 String Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This ukulele is beautiful and it sounds great too. Don't get me wrong it's no Cordoba
like my other uke, but for being an 8 string it gets the job done. I would replace the strings
to get the most out of this uke.

Lanikai CK-TEQ Tenor Curly Koa Acoustic Electric Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)It's not often you find a KOA ukulele at such a great price. This ukulele has a beautiful tone and sounds fantastic amped! I own four ukuleles now and this one is by far my favorite. Lanikai, although made in china, makes outstanding ukuleles. When I first got it, it made a buzzing sound when strumming loud. This is an easy fix. There was a wire resting up against the soundboard. I just reached into the sound hole and adjusted the wire so it was no longer resting on the soundboard. As a result, the best ukulele ever! The tuning pegs are phenomenal. The cutaway design really helps when playing the higher frets. To top it all off, this ukulele looks fantastic. If you are considering a tenor ukulele to add to your ukulele family, I highly recommend this one.

Lanikai SM-C Custom Series Spalted Mango Concert Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I picked this up a few months back and I have to say it just gets better with age. I was looking at the Ibanez spalted mango uke and it looked great, it was also much cheaper, but it sounded like a tin can with strings. I think that is because theirs is a laminate. The Lanikai is solid woods all the way around. At first it sounded a little muted, but I kept playing it and the top loosened up and now sounds great. Very mellow not like any of my other ukes. After I bought this one I saw that there is a Spalted Mango Lanikai with electronics and a killer looking headstock. That one is the SM-CE its very cool but I'll probably end up putting a MiSi in this one.
Great uke, oh... by the way dont go by the picture, each one is completely different mine showed up and it had the most killer looking top on it.

Lanikai LU-6 6 String Tenor Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I could not be happier since buying my new Lanikai Ukulele. It is excellent quality, and very nice to play and to look at, and well worth the money. I think I have fallen in love with my little Tenor 6 string, whenever I play it I feel a healing power coming out from the inside of the instrument to my Head & Body. There is something very special about the sound and the tunes that come from a Ukulele. I hope you like my "Happy Tune" on the video that came from the inspiration of playing the Lanikai at home after just 3 days of owning it. Get yourself one and experience the relaxing gift and the peaceful vibe they produce......

Hamano H-100 Vintage 1920 Style Concert Ukulele (Mahogany/Rosewood) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have teaching myself ukulele for about 3 months now.
This Hamano is my second ukulele. My first was a Kala soprano I bought from Amazon for about $50.
It had a nice sound, but it never stayed in tune. I took it to a guitar repair shop, and the neck was warping. The guy basically told it that it would cost $100 to fix. At that point, I was 6 weeks in, and was really enjoying the Uke, so I decided to buy something a TAD more expensive.
Word of mouth on the web lead me to consider a Mainland Uke or this Hamano. The Hamano Concert was at a local music school, and for the same price as Amazon, so I picked it up after being impressed with its fabtastic appearance, easy action and truly sweet sound.
This Hamano is very well constructed, has a very sweet, rich sound, and plays loud. In fact, my friend was just over with his Tenor Uke he got in Hawaii and he paid a lot more than I did and our ukes sound almost identical. He was VERY impressed. The "action" on this uke is very light-- very easy to learn to play on! Cannot say enough good stuff.
I broke down and bought a tenor uke from Mainland, and it has a very un-rich, hollow sound to it next to this Hamano. The Hamano is smaller but plays louder, and the tone is just really rich and beautiful. I am sorry I spent the money on the Mainland, frankly. I never play it. I just play the Hamano constantly and it is a real pleasure.
For beginners, I would suggest buying a plastic, $20-30 uke to see if you stick with it, and then I would unreservedly recommend this Hamano or its Tenor or Soprano cousins. The construction and finish are gorgeous.
The only con is: friction rather than geared tuners. They work, but I just prefer geared tuners.
You cannot get a better ukulele for this price.

Recording King Metal Body Resonator Soprano Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)For a long time, the only review for this outsanding little resonator uke has been the one-star review, which said awful things about it. So, as much as I wanted a resonator uke, and especially at this amazing price, the little thing sat on my wish list, unpurchased for a very long time. But I never quite gave up on it, and I looked at the listing every so often, trying to make up my mind.
Then recently, somebody with "Ukulele" in their screen name posted a vindicating review, and it tipped the scales for me. I clicked "Add to Cart", and I'm really, really glad I did.
This instrument is everything I wanted. It looks great, sounds great, and feels great in your hands. It has the solid weight of quality, with terrific plating and smooth fit and finish everywhere. The intonation on mine is just fine, and the little beast roars with a classic room-filling resonator sound. I just couldn't be happier.
I honestly don't know how the one-star review guy could have had such a bad reaction to anything like the same Ukulele I received. It's a shame how many people his review might have scared off. Making the problem worse was that until now, there was only one pitiful little picture, so prospective buyers couldn't judge for themselves if the item looked "cheap". I just posted a few of my own pictures, highlighting what I think are some of its nicer features.
If you're in the mood for a resonator Uke with lots of great sound and character, and at a bargain-basement price, don't waste as much time as I did deciding to buy this one!

Lanikai SM-T Custom Series Spalted Mango Tenor Ukulele Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a very handsome ukulele, the spalted mango is excellent.The albone inlay is awesome! But, for the price it was just ok. The tuners were not aligned perfectly, the top two are very crooked, there is glue all over the nut and it was not centered correcly. I just expected a little more quality in a ukuele in this price range. I will upgrade the tuners, upgrade to a better quality nut and bridge, then I will be alot happier with this. Also there is no strap button. I would highly recomend this instrument to anyone. It is beautiful, sounds great and plays great. Maybe you won't have the same problems. I really hope this review was helpful to you!!!!
