Ukulele from Lohanu Cutaway Electric With 3 Band EQ & Pick Up With All Accessories Included! (Tenor Size)

I am not an expert on Ukulele's, but I do own three of them. Each one has its unique value in terms of sound, presentation, and utility to a song. I bought this one because I wanted a cutaway as I am teaching myself primarily fingerstyle techniques. As such, I love classical which can be challenging at times do to the use of scales which range across several octaves and therefore a broad range from lower notes to high ones. The cutaway helps me to manage these scales easier.The Ukulele is a well-made, uses good wood that produces a great tone no matter where I am on the scale. I have used the company's customer service several times primarily through email and their responses have always been timely, beyond my expectation in terms of results. I wish more company's follow their model for being committed to an excellent customer experience.It can connect to an amplifier, but I am not a public musician anymore but do send a lot of time on composing music. Therefore, it can have a benefit when connecting to my DAW software and hardware for recording. The Ukulele comes with good action where it counts, but if I had my choice, I would prefer a little lower on the frets towards the upper end of the scale.It doesn't affect my ability to play or does it hard to press down on the strings but when you're playing faster scales towards 16th or faster notes like in some traditional Irish and Old English tunes it can make a difference. This was my first purchase of a Ukulele although I have owned guitars for years and so knew what to look for in an instrument.Would I recommend it to another, absolutely without hesitation! The three pillars of sound; wood, quality of construction, and strings are well represented in this instrument. I would rate this of medium depth in terms of the build. It is not a slim, it is certainly not like a dreadnaught guitar, but falls somewhere between. I was looking for one like this as I live in a small home with my wife and son where not everyone wants to hear me practice as I come up to speed on this instrument.Ending this, I will also say once I had the instrument for about a month it stayed in tune and didn't fall off by more than a quarter way down from where it should be if in tune. That's good and speaks well to the strings and nuts used on this instrument.When I get better on the instrument, I will post a couple of tunes so you can hear how it sounds. I hope this helps anyone considering a purchase.

If you are looking for a nice ukulele bundle I cannot recommend this one enough. There are so many great features for a very reasonable price. The ukulele itself is very well crafted and sounds great. the pattern and company name are etched into the wood and is not painted or a sticker making for a classy look. There is a built in tuner that's very accurate. It also comes with a tuner. I guess I would say, since a tuner is already built in it would be practical to replace the extra one with some felt picks perhaps. That being said though, it does come with picks and a pick holder. There are attachments for a shoulder strap already built in so your ready to go there. The strings are high quality nyglut and you get a separate set as well. I'd say this package comes with everything you need to play the ukuleke. Last but certainly not least, as other reviews have said, the customer support is too notch! I had my ukulele for a couple weeks and saw that the zipper on the gig bag had come off. I was able email them and within minutes they had responded by notifying me they were sending me a new one. Not just a new one, but a better one! I got it in the mail in two days. I am very satisfied with my ukulele, and look forward to playing it for years to come. Thank you Lohanu! Mahalo!

I purchased the tenor cutaway model. Prior to getting it, the only ukulele experience that I had was a soprano Kala Makala that I had been playing for about 4 months. I consider myself an "advanced beginner" player. I can play some scales, several single note songs, several fingerpicking songs, and a few strumming songs but I'm not quite and intermediate player. I was looking for something larger than the Makala so that I could practice longer without getting fatigued. This ukulele solved that issue.I'll start with the bad since the list is short: - Compared to the Makala, the finish is just not as nice. It's not poor but the finish is dull and a little thin. There's some finish residue in the rim of the soundhole where it looked like someone missed a little bit when buffing it after it was sealed. The color is nice and I think if I keep it stored in a dry A/C-controlled house, it'll last a lifetime but it's just not as pristine as it could be. For what I paid, that's okay. - The battery compartment for the tuner is really stiff. A youtube review pointed that out. It came with a battery so I haven't needed to remove the cover. However, when I tried to remove the cover, it felt like I was going to break it. I'll cross that bridge when the battery dies. - Buzzing notes. Other reviews have pointed out that some notes have a buzz to them. There are a few notes where if you don't fret them perfectly, they'll buzz. The same could be said for all notes on all ukes but on certain notes, this ukulele has noticeably less forgiveness for poor fretting.Those are my only complaints. The good: - It sounds like an uke. As a beginner, I'm no critic of tone. However I can confidently say it sounds like a ukulele. I think anyone looking for this price-range ukulele is looking for an instrument that simply sounds like an ukulele and this will satisfy that requirement. - The strings hold their tuning after they get set. It does take about a half dozen to a dozen sessions before the strings settle in but when they do, they sound great. This was my same experience with my Makala, and I think it's typical for all ukuleles. - The strap and strap studs do what they are supposed to. I do a lot of practice while standing and pacing around my house. It's perfect for that. - The built-in tuner works. I have an accurate tuner that I've used on my other instruments for years. When I tuned the uke the first few times, I used both the built-in and my trusty ol' tuner. The built-in tuner was consistent with my old one. I have not used the second tuner that the ukulele comes with. There's no point. - The electric pickup, volume knobs, and equalizer works. I use it with my Roland Micro Cube. With a little reverb, it has a really soulful sound. I didn't think the equalizer would be necessary but for some reason, the sound doesn't come out of the amp with the correct tone. The equalizer corrects that. With the amp, this instrument sounds like something that I'd expect to hear in a live performance at a bar or coffee shop.I think overall it's a great uke for a total beginner looking to pick up a new instrument, as well as an advanced beginner looking to advance their playing to the next level. I've been playing on it nonstop since I got it 2 weeks ago. If I ever wanted to busk or to play in a coffee shop for money, I think this instrument will get the job done just fine.

If you are looking for a great sounding concert Ukulele for a decent price and with a bunch of extras, this is the one. I am a musician and tone/feel are important to me so I was thoroughly impressed by this instrument. The Uke sounds great whether it is played acoustically or plugged into an amplifier.I initially had an issue with the electronics where the onboard tuner did not work; I heard pops when connected to an amplifier. So I contacted customer support who responded in less than a day and offered a replacement, which I received in a few days. They addressed all my questions about the frets and string height and also provided information, photos and links with further information. The electronics/tuner on the replacement worked as expected and sounds just as great as the first one.Overall I highly recommend this instrument for both beginners and seasoned musicians. Also, a big shout out to the amazing Lohanu customer support team who were focused on the customer experience. Thank you!

I ordered this electric Lohanu cutaway ukulele (Tenor size) for my son for Christmas this year. He was extremely happy with the ukulele as am I. I have been truly impressed with the customer service received from the team at Lohanu (thank you Joseph and Natadel). They have been a pleasure to deal with in both my pre-purchase and post-purchase questions and concerns.The product itself is a beautifully crafted instrument, with a timeless guitar-like design. The on-board tuner and pickup electronics work very well (we have it connected to a small PA system). The string action is low enough for a beginner as well as a more seasoned player (our uncle demonstrated it's full potential), along with a smooth fret board and easy to see fret markers. The metal tuning knobs are also nicely done. Useful tip: as we have relatively big fingertips, we found this tenor size the perfect fit for our hands, and allowed us to adjust quickly to learning the uke chords.It came enclosed with everything we needed to get setup and start playing right away: a nicely padded tenor size bag, a separate tuner (though we always tend to use the built-in one), 2 picks (and a pick case), an extra pack of Aquila strings, as well as a decent quality adjustable strap. (It was a little tricky to get the strap on initially, but with some wiggling and careful pulling, we eventually got it over the strap mounts).I would highly recommend this instrument, and would not hesitate to purchase from them again. Fast shipping and proper packaging was also highly appreciated! Thanks again!

I bought this tenor uke for my husband for Christmas, who is a musician and elementary music teacher. He wanted a second ukulele (that had a pick up) that he could have at home.Like other reviewers said, the tuning slips a lot at first because the strings are new. But he loves the built-in tuner and says that it makes tuning a lot easier and quicker. It’s a beautiful instrument and comes with everything that a beginner would need to play, except for a capo. We particularly like the wall hanger strap, as it lets us show it off and easily access it. The case is a bit disappointing - it’s a typical soft case without much protection.However the whole package is an amazing deal for the cost. It has a great sound (I like the sound even more than the soprano that he has) and is exactly as advertised. Note: we have not used the pick up yet, but I’ll edit this review if something isn’t right about it. Husband is very happy!

Received on time without any damage. Good sound and lots of extras came with it. I found the strings a bit higher off the fret board than my other uke so it may be a bit difficult for beginners.

Update: I've had this over a month now. I play about seven hours a day. Obviously it's a joy to play, otherwise I wouldn't play it so much. I wore through a set of strings already. I'm a hand drummer/singer/singwriter with a few gigs coming up, going to take this to the stage. I love it that much.The beginner course that came with it was a great start. I zoomed through it in a day. Easy to sing and play with, got me going.I bought an amp. Sounds great plugged in.The only issue I had with it is the strings sat high close to the nut. It made, for example, E7 a bit difficult to press down. I took a very small file and lowered it at the nut. The action everywhere else was beautiful.I highly recommend.---------------Pretty good, cute ukulele. The action was a bit high, but easily fixable. I swapped out the strings for a set of Aquila low G red. Original strings were beautiful, however, it was personal preference. I'm pretty happy with this ukulele. For the price, this is a great ukulele for adult beginners. A keeper.
