Was going to give it four stars but the most important part of a lower mid priced ukulele is its playability. For its price I find it difficult to be improved in this functional area. This is a beautiful mahogany laminated wood-grained instrument. The top of the body resonates well due to its thinness but you could not tell it's thin. It lacks any kind of inlay or decorations around the sound hole like similar priced ukuleles. Looking inside with a flashlight there is no glue drops or streaks in its joints and reinforcements from excess glue during its construction. All looks neat and a quality construction. Then there is the gig bag. First time I tried to place the instrument into the bag the cheap zippers placed two inch long scratches along the right side of the body. Don't use this bag. It is advertised as a Gearlux Gig Bag. It's nothing more than a loose plastic bag with a zipper. No protection other than like a dust cover. If there is any foam it's 1/8" or less and offers no protection or structural rigidity to itself. It's shameful and should be an embarrassment to advertise and offer this to the public. Our dollars are spent frugally and are hard earned or are on a limited budget, not wasted on this farce they call a Gearlux Gig Bag. It would serve you well to ptocure a hard case or at least a polyfoam case that is structurely superior to this. The tiny clip-on tuner is a good add-on item well worth it. It's accurate and trustworthy. I haven't looked at the cd/DVD provided by Austin Bazarr so I can't comment on that. All-in-all a ukulele that is competent with tone, projection and tunes up well. After the strings stretched for two days, it stayed in-tune all day in only its third day. No issues. I would buy again. They can keep the Gearlux gear bag dust cover.
