Pick up this Koa uke with a rosewood fingerboard and bridge, abalone rosette, body binding and fingerboard board inlays -- plus a gig bag and clip-on tuner.

Overview

The Lanikai LKP-C Koa Concert Ukulele Pack gives a first-time uke player everything they need to get going! Whether you're hitting the stage or hitting the beach, this quality concert-sized ukulele is ready to be your faithful companion. It comes with a backpack-style gig bag, clip-on tuner, and even an instruction book with a few songs to help you get started playing right away.

Solid Design, and Very Handsome

The ukulele itself is a concert-scale instrument with a top, back, and sides all made from beautiful Hawaiian koa wood -- a premium tonewood usually found in much more expensive instruments. It has a standard concert ukulele 15-inch scale length, and has a custom 35 mm cut across at the imitation bone nut. This string spacing is a little wider than some ukes, making it easier for first-time players -- especially those familiar with the feel and play of an acoustic guitar. This lovely Lanikai uke's rosewood fretboard is set with 19 frets, with clear access up through the 14th, and comes strung with Aquila ukulele strings.

Beauty in Fine Details

This instrument presents a distinguished face to the world, with its attractive abalone purfling in the binding and rosette. The same abalone appears in the fretboard inlays on five frets. The gold die-cast tuning machines are solidly built as well.

I am satisfied overall with this ukulele.It is my first and unlike my guitars, I plan on keeping this one for a while.If it were to get damaged/lost/stolen I would probably order the same one for now. I have replaced guitars after a year but this ukulele stay in my collection for years to come.

Sound
This ukulele although small is able to project well for its concert body size. I have played other ukuleles in stores and I found this one to be the best in its price range. You can't go wrong with Aquila strings!

Features
This ukulele looks and feels great! With mother of pearl inlays, gold tuners, and the koa wood, it looks like a high end ukulele!It also came with a soft travelling case and a clip on tuner. The case is useful but does not offer much protection. I have tried other clip on tuners and I find this one somewhat inaccurate.

Ease of Use
There is a simple instruction booklet with a few songs and tabs so you can play it right out of the box. I think this ukulele will sound better over time!

Quality
When I first recieved this ukulele, the first thing I check was the finish and neck. There was nothing wrong with the overall structure but there were a few scratches on the gold tuners, the wood on the headstock was not finished properly. The wood around the area of the headstock meets the neck was not cut properly. You can see a little gap between the… read more wood and the plastic that starts the fretboard. None of this affects the playability of the instrument.

Value
Includes a concert sized ukulele, a clip on tuner and a gig bag. I have done research and played other ukuleles in stores and this Lanikai concert package is top quality for it's price!

The Wow Factor
With mother of pearl inlays, gold tuners, koa wood, it looks like a high end ukulele! This thing is beautiful!I get asked all the time where I got it! Trust me. It's hot!
