Had to have this cool uke which turned out to be really first class construction and a fun sound. Highly recommend for a gift or yourself!
I love this ukulele! It is so much fun to play. It is pointy which should be obvious. My one complaint is that the nut is not sanded down so it catches on my hand and can hurt. After a bit of filling it plays great. Everyone who sees my ukulele collection instantly gravitates to this one. Highly recommend!
Easy to carry, Accessories like flat and angular. A lot of tone for a concert because they expanded the box where needed to. A smart approach keeping the identity of a cigar box. An angular sound compared to a standard concert uke. Hint: Tighten the Philips head screws in the tuners to keep your sound. I used a nice, conventional wood product to bring out and keep cool design. Nice work. Very Victorian.
After receiving this promptly and in perfect condition, I have but tuned it twice and it’s kept in tune since. Unique and lovely, slick looking Uke! Beautiful sound, especially for this price! Thank you!
This Victorian cigar ukulele is unique, great sounding, and yet looks like an antique! It’s one of the best ukuleles I have and I have a few!!! I would recommend this cigar box concert ukulele to anyone looking for a quality Uke and its nostalgia!! Great purchase! Love it!!!
