 Mahalo ukulele - Nice little instrument for the priceSep 05, 2009
By Michael R. Martin
I received my Mahalo baritone ukulele from Amazon.com today. I'm a performing singer/songwriter, mainly on guitar, and occasionally banjo. I have several vintage guitars that have been custom set at the factory specifically for my performance style. So you could say I know a bit about stringed instruments and good sound. A friend suggested I get a baritone ukulele, since the four strings are typically tuned to the four highest strings on a guitar in standard tuning.
The ukulele arrived in perfect condition. The finish is matte, a bit bland, but attractive enough. The provided strings aren't good, but that is typical for instruments, and I will replace them as soon as a good set arrives. The ukulele smells new and a bit like Elmer's white glue! The sound quality is good for what it is. Ukuleles aren't known for their resonance and sustain. The tuning machines are a bit cheapish. They can be tightened using set screws on the end of the tuning pegs. Too tight and it is difficult to precisely adjust string pitch, too loose and the tuned strings won't hold their pitch. Right now, the strings don't hold their pitch very well, but that may be a function of crappy strings or stretching nylon strings.
The ukulele responds well to a capo (try using a banjo capo), requiring little retuning after the capo is set. The intonation is fair - good with decent overtones.
The gig bag is cheap, primarily a dust cover, and doesn't even include a pocket or two. If you want to carry picks (sacrilege to ukulele purists, I am sure) or a capo, get a small bag that can be tossed into the gig bag along with the ukulele.
All in all, I like the price and recommend this as an entry level instrument. I am pleased enough with the sound that I will likely perform on stage with this ukulele. I will update my review once I have had a chance to try new strings.f

 Deluxe Baritone UkuleleJun 15, 2011
By Daryl J. Healey

When the price of this one came down, I decided to go ahead with it. I had been thinking this ukulele over for a few months, as I liked the idea it was tuned the same as a guitar.
Ok.
While giving it it's first tuning, the g string snapped. Ok, no biggie. There is a music shop just across town that carries ukulele gear, and I got a new set of strings for $8.
I get it all tuned up, and the action is a bit high off the neck. Hmmmm....
All in all it has a full sound, I can deal with it. But if I had the chance to do it again, I would probably order something else.
I love the Mahalo brand, but this one was a bit of a dog.

I returned it ... it wouldn't stay on pitch ...at all.... I hope the manufacturer fixes the problem. I really feel bad putting in this review.
 DisappointingMay 05, 2010
By Mary Flavell
This little uke has a pretty decent sound. However, it is impossible to keep the thing tuned. The first time I got one, the D string would only tune to a C before the peg started to slip. I returned it for a replacement. When I got the replacement, ALL FOUR PEGS slipped. I could not get any string to hold any tension. I'm returning it for a refund. This is why I hate ordering an instrument I can't TRY before I buy. :(
