AKLOTBanjo Ukulele, Concert 23 inch Remo Drumhead Open Back Maple Body 15:1 Advanced Tuner with Two Way Truss Rod Gig Bag Tuner String Strap Picks

Fue un buen regalo para mi hijo, llegó bien empacado y con todos los accesorios. Suena muy lindo

Whilst the package looks good value for money, the quality of some of the parts is pretty poor.The gig bag had a hole in the top where the headstock had been pushing and the shoulder straps of the bag on the back had not been sewn in place at all and were just loose. There was no electric pick-up provided, despite one being shown in the advert and picture of the package. And when I strung the the instrument, some of the strings broke before reaching the correct tuning level, as did the same strings from the spare set. I have strung up many guitars, ukuleles and cigar box guitars in the past, so know what I'm doing. On purchasing a set of better quality strings, I had no problem fitting and tuning them, so have to assume it was the cheap ones provided with the instrument.With a bit better quality control, this could have been a nice little beginners package, but in the end it was just trouble.I did keep the item in the end, as it had been brought as a present and there was no time to replace it, so I repaired the bag and fitted replacement strings and it was good to go. Will have to see how it holds up over time. Disappointing purchase.

Some 50+ years ago, I played an old ukulele and have great memories of the fun. I recently had an urge to play one again, but with a twist. I have always appreciated the sound qualities of banjos. When I realized that a banjo ukulele was available and within financial reach for a casual, fun instrument, I elected to get one.After researching the market, I settled on the AKLOT, which is the higher grade instrument in the Kmise line. Both trade names were favorably reviewed, but the AKLOT was generally preferred for it's louder projections and excellent fidelity for an affordable uke.I have been very please with the AKLOT product! It arrived in two days in a double-packed shipping box. I think it was packaged to survive importation as well as UPS! Well done, AKLOT!I unwrapped it, inspected the contents, and everything in the kit was pristine. The banjo uke was strung, but not tightly. I checked the location of the bridge using the supplied gauge, which proved to be a great method of checking the setup. The bridge was right on!The electronic tuner made it easy to bring it up to the "my dog has fleas" tuning. Over these past weeks, retuning has been needed less frequently as the strings and neck settled in to their longer-term stable positions. I still check it often, as it's quite a lot of fun to use the tuning tool!!It has a great sound! No, not as abrupt as steel strings on a full-sized banjo, but also much sharper than a ukulele, with that great banjo twang!It has a fine, uniform and blemish-free finish, and great workmanship all around. No burrs on the metal parts, especially the frets, and no hint of roughness or splinters anywhere. The banjo head has a consistent tension over all sections, and I haven't had to touch the neck or head tensioning.After a couple of weeks, the electronic tuner became intermittent, so I called Amazon and emailed with the supplier. A couple of days later, a new tuner showed up in the mail. No muss, no fuss, no disagreements. They just took care of me with great customer service!The strap is very comfortable and has a silky consistency. Much better than I expected. I planned to buy a new strap, expecting a pretty cheap crap strap, but I had a great surprise with the strap included in the package.The bottom line is this: It's been a great purchase and I'm having fun with my new banjo uke! It sounds great, easy to tune, and I have a great supplier behind me if I should need additional assistance. It doesn't get much better than this in today's rather mixed up market. Thanks, AKLOT!

The sound is rich, combining the warmth of a ukelele with the punch of a resonator banjo. Although it comes with no piezo pick-up, the sound is loud enough to use in an acoustic jam. A simple microphone can help utilize this instrument in a gig environment.The tuning is that of a ukelele, making it easy to pick up and start playing. Highly recommend for a musician of beginner / intermediate level.The floating bridge comes unset up, so it needs to be placed so that the note tuned is equivalent at open position as well as fret 12 (octave). This ensures that the notes going up the neck are correct.The seller includes a strap, a tuner, multiple picks and of course the instrument, making sure you are ready to go once received.Pros:- Solid construction- Bright and warm sound, punches through- Great action- Fun to play.Cons:N/A

I didn’t have high expectations because of the price. I figured we’d get what we paid for, but this was a pleasant surprise!Purchased for someone wanting to learn, with limited experience, so we didn’t want to spend a lot of money to start.The sound is strong, many good quality accessories included, and it’s a good instrument to start learning with.Not sure we’ll have to buy a better quality one down the road, bc this one is great!
