Frequently Asked Questions
The machine heads are functional, but don’t expect rock-solid tuning stability like you’d find on a premium instrument – occasional retuning is likely.
The 35mm nut width is fairly standard for a soprano uke, but some with very small hands might find it a little snug.
It's serviceable for basic recording, but you'll likely want to EQ it to compensate for the basswood’s somewhat muted character.
