The Waterman SWG BL is a surprisingly solid entry-level soprano – the plastic build makes it incredibly tough for beginners or anyone who travels a lot. The glow-in-the-dark top is a fun novelty, and the Super Nylgut strings give it a pleasing, mellow voice. It's a great, affordable option for kids, students, or anyone wanting a no-fuss, reliable uke.
