Editor's Notes

January 30, 2019:

The general consensus is that it's best to spend between $50 to $100 dollars on a starter ukulele. Anything under that is usually nothing more than a glorified toy. That being said, I decided to include the Mahalo Kahiko Series Soprano as an option for those who are unsure of their level of commitment, given its budget-friendly price.
