So… you’re thinking about buying a ukulele? We say that you should just DO IT! You won’t look back, as it’s a fun, sociable and portable instrument. Try to resist buying lots of brothers and sisters for the new addition to your family, though. Ukuleles are very addictive. You have been warned!
How much should I spend?
On your first ukulele, don’t spend a lot of money. A little bit like a car, when you’re learning you might have a few bumps. You can buy a cheap ukulele for about £25-30. You can definitely spend more, and, if you have musical experience and know you’ll stick with it, then do that, but if you have no musical experience and you don’t know if you’ll play for a few years, then just get a basic ukulele that sounds good. Here are a few that we recommend.
Makala are inexpensive, and sound good. Here are a few links to find some Makala ukuleles:
Stagg are also inexpensive, and sound good. Here are a few links to find some Stagg ukuleles:
Before you know it, you’ll have Ukulele Acquisition Syndrome (UAS) and end up with a bunch of other (possibly more expensive) ukes, but for now start small until you know you’ll stick with it, and do stick with it!
