The concert-size Donner DUC-1 plays well, sounds good, and costs little—and it also comes with a case, strap, and tuner.

TechGearLab

The Donner DUC-1 is a quality, well-rounded instrument, especially at its price point. It is a winning combination of price, quality build, splendid sound, and excellent included accessories that ranked it our favorite price-to-performance model. It's constructed of a combination of mahogany and rosewood, which harmonize to provide a rich and resonating sound. Of the kits we tested, some of the "bundles" are a combination of a few cheap items along with the main extra to catch the buyer's attention. Not the case here; the tuner worked almost as well as the industry standard that we tested against for quality control. The strap offers a bohemian-inspired pattern and works really well; it can even be adjusted to fit a smaller child, making a great first kit for beginners. The carrying case is also well-constructed and has a large front pocket for all the included extras. 
Our main gripe is that it took longer than most for the strings to settle and hold a tune. This is super common for new strings of any kind, but we felt that higher quality strings &#40;like the Aquila nylon of some of the other high-scorers in our test fleet&#41; might not have taken as long to settle, so we recommend replacing the strings on this instrument with better ones. And though the sound this uke produces is pretty great, it's not the best in class. It's more than satisfactory for more beginners, though. If you're seeking a starting instrument at an affordable price with both a quality build and sound, look no further.

 [Music] Okay guys, so this is the Dollar Music 23 inch mahogany wood comfort ukulele and I swear guys, I'm so in love with this! So what I love about Dollar Ukuleles is that they are not expensive and they feel amazing. They feel so high quality and they look great. Also, the white line makes it look so beautiful and so high quality. So now I'm going to tune ukulele with the tuner that I got with the ukulele and then we're going to hear how ukulele sounds

 Okay, so first we have a little strap that you can put around your ukulele, then we have new strings, then we have four guitar picks, then we have a little cleaning towel, and then we have a tuner. So I never received the ukulele which includes all of this, so this is really cool. Okay, so now let's move on to the ukulele. Okay, first impression, it's so beautiful

 It sounds so fine. It sounds so warm. It's perfect. Okay, so let's make an overview about what we had in our package

 It's perfect. Okay, so let's make an overview about what we had in our package. So we had of course the beautiful ukulele that I love so much. Then we had four guitar picks and of course some ukulele strings

Donner Concert Ukulele Beginner Kit UNBOXING & REVIEW

  Third Update: I liked the Martin strings, but I became frustrated by flaws in the intonation. Switched the strings again, and this time it's the fantastic. Fremont BlackLine Mediums are thin black fluorocarbon strings. They give it amazing clarity, volume, resonance and sustain, and the intonation is near perfect all the way up the neck

 The Donner logo is inlaid into the headstock. The tuning gears work smoothly and hold their position, with pegs similar in color to the mahogany. The nut is a full 1.5" wide, which makes it easier for people with larger-sized fingers to play

  Second Update: Today after a couple of months with the Aquila Sugar strings, I replaced them with Martin M600 flurocarbon strings, and I really like them. There was something about the sugars that sounded just a little odd, a little artificial. The Martins have a clear bell-like tone that is equally loud as the sugars but sounds more natural. Of course, string choice is a matter of personal preference, but I'm really happy with the Martins

 The frets are level and beveled on the sides for comfort, and the fret ends are covered. I haven't had any problems with strings buzzing. There are side position markers in addition to those on the fretboard. The saddle is compensated for consistent intonation

Beautiful, resonant, a great value!

 Awesome! So let's go ahead and hear how this suit sounds with some finger picking and some strumming patterns. [Music] Nice! Overall, I think this is a great Uke. I feel like if you are a beginner Uke or if you're looking for an affordable, high quality concert size Uke, that this Donner Ukulele concert size Uke is definitely for you. And again, it does come with extra stuff with the Uke accessories of the tuner picks, cleaning cloth, extra string strap, and all that

 [Music] So before we dive into this Uke, I do want to quickly give a little shout out to donut from creating an actual gig bag that's actually usable and it's actually padded. It's a really nice gig bag with two straps in the back so you can put it over both of your shoulders. So again, thank you so much for actually creating a gig Bag! I've reviewed some Ukes in the past that were like four or five times six times the price of this Uke. and it didn't come with a gig bag

 I think the accessories alone with the Gig bag and all the other yuke accessories, I think the suk is definitely a winner For the price point, this is an awesome Uke. If you're again looking for a Uk that's under 70 dollars and it's a concert sized Uke, this is awesome. So again links to everything down below. Thank you so much for Donner for sponsoring this video and sending this Uke

 I've reviewed a lot of Ukes under seventy dollars and this one is definitely one of my top favorites just because of just some of the features that come on this Uke. And also the sound of this Uke is super bright and fun and it also tunes really well. Some of the Ukes that I've played in the past you it just took a lot to tune and stay in tune. This one stayed pretty much in tune within the first 30 minutes of actually tuning and playing, so it doesn't take a lot of work to keep it in tune

Budget Pick

The sweet-toned, nylon-stringed ukulele originated in the 19th century in Hawaii. It gained great popularity in the U. S. During the early in 20th century and from there spread internationally. Ibanez is pleased to offer variety of models, including those with electronics. Our lineup includes soprano and concert-size ukuleles, which bring the rich, textured sounds to your fingertips.

Advanced ukulele players are likely to be impressed with the Ibanez UEW5S. All-mahogany top, sides, and back make up its body construction, and it comes with sleek Aquila NYLBLACK strings. Ibanez's soprano ukulele mimics the original Ibanez EW Series acoustic guitar's distinctive single cutaway shape. It's simple to access the higher frets on the neck with the cutaway C shape, allowing you to shake things up with a funky solo when you're feeling the groove. The ukulele puts out a bright and even tone with a soothing sound at the top end, and we were impressed with the way this uke stands out when playing in a group, emitting a lively sound. The design includes a rosewood fretboard and bridge, open chrome tuners, and a gorgeous abalone rosette. Even the average guitar player will greatly appreciate the playability and the low action. 
This kit isn't the most suited to beginners or those looking to buy their first instrument. Many other kits we tested came with a lot of great accessories that this solo instrument doesn't. The Ibanez UEW5S is geared towards intermediate players looking to expand their collection with a higher quality instrument. It is a favorite among the solo performance models in our line-up for its exceptional build, tone, and playability.

 Although not completely waterproof (due to the metal tuners), the polycarbonate construction provides extra durability. It was able to withstand temperature fluctuations while holding its tune far better than any other model we tested, and its non-wood construction makes it much more likely to handle getting banged around a bit during travel.

This instrument struggled to stay in tune even with weeks of playing. They eventually did adjust, and it ended up being a minimal inconvenience for the price of the kit. We observed that it made for good practice for kids just starting out to make sure their instrument is in tune. If you have a youngster that wants to learn to play the uke but wants something better than the plastic toys you find in the same price range, this makes a great beginner kit to add to your family
