Uke with substance
Ukulele nicely constructed and finished. Very nice mellow tone, soft or loud. I've given it 5 stars as it is a very nice tenor uke, only one negative is the 'C' string seems to lose tune each time I pick up to practice. It may settle down over time as I've only had it a few weeks. Would recommend this for any level of player.

Affordable Quality and Fun Instrument!
This is my first ever Ukelele, though I have purchased a number of quality guitars from the likes of PRS, Gibson etc. I must say the build quality and sound is very good for the price, and is easily loud enough to jam with a few friends or record on phone. Fretwork is very neat, the instrument is comfortable to play. The included tuner and teaching book is a welcome bonus, however at the time of purchase the book was only available in German! Please include an English version to allow international buyers to enjoy this book :)

Very decent ukulele
A good ukulele. Everything is well. Don't forget that it takes some days of playing and stretching the strings, before they stay in tune.
Compared to other tenor ukuleles this is a good deal.

First uke and couldn't be happier!
This is my very first uke and as a guitar player i was honestly very suprised by the quality of an instrument at this price point. The fretwork is very good but it could be minimally better in my humble opinion.
The tuning pegs feel good and have no rough patches and hold the tuning fantastically, typically needing very small adjusting after 3-4 days if you're not hammering away crazily while strumming.
The clip-on tuner that follows with the purchase is honestly worse than any tuning app available on the appstore, i guess if you're a 72 year old grandpa without a smartphone it's nice.
It also comes with a book which has some handy information for a new uke player such as myself and i found it a nice thing to go back to and read inbetween my noodling on the instrument. However it is only in german so i only got the large gists of the content through my limited german. Online sources is probably better than the provided book if you manage to find them
Finally it also comes with a gig bag and 3 picks, picks are picks and no major comment there. The gig bag is good quality and if you plan to utilize the gig bag it will do the job fine i reckon.
Overall i would recommend skipping the bundle and just buying the uke by itself. As the clip-on tuner is outdone by apps such as Guitartuna, book is in german and is probably worse than online resources, gig bag is a gig bag and 3 picks are whatever.

a powerful beginners tool
This bundle is my first foray into ukulele playing semi-seriously. Before this I'd only ever had one made of some horrible plastic/vinyl covered pine wood that had about 10 frets. While that's an extremely low bar this bounds over it, the build quality feels as solid as my classical guitars. I have had some issues with fingering positions, the fretboard being much shorter scale than I'm used to, but it's incredibly comfortable to play, sits in the lap comfortably and is wonderfully easy to replace strings on, so far I've only needed to replace the g for a low G.
The clip on tuner is handy in a pinch, it can be a little fussy about what tone it's picking up with the higher register of the ukulele but it usually straightens out with a couple of taps.
The carry case for the Ukulele is pretty wonderful for the size and weight of the instrument it holds, having a little padding and a pretty comfy carry handle as far as my experience goes.
The songbook is in german, which, only being fluent in english I can only partially read, but it's been a nice tool for learning the language, just by having a constant source of it to work with passively. It seems fairly comprehensive for beginner songbook stuff and I'm enjoying what I've learned from it.
quick pros/cons list
PROS:
-Very study, lightweight ukulele with wonderful, mellow tone
-good carry case for said ukulele
-mostly functional clip on tuner (I've used much, MUCH worse)
-easy to restring
CONS:
-clip on tuner can be wrong by what feels like 2 semitones if hastily tuning it
-carry case doesn't have a backstrap
-uhhhh, song book is in german only?
overall adore it, for the cost of the bundle it's well worth it <3

Very good starter package
This is my first ukulele and I think it's pretty good for the price. The sound is bright and clear. As others have mentioned, the C string loses tune more than the other strings, but this might be an issue of settling down, as I've been using it for a somewhat short time.
The build quality is very good, the only issue are small spots where the grain of the wood could be felt, but I think that with a bit of fine sandpaper and some finish, those could be taken care of.
All in all, a very good instrument for the price.

Nice for a cheap uke
First ukulele I've ordered, after scouring various reviews. This one seemed to have many of the features of more expensive ukulele at a good price for a beginner. A few little niggles as could be expected for the price but with a little setting up and adjustment all is fine and it is enjoyable to learn on.
