My own ukulele

is a handmade soprano ukulele (picture) made by German manufacture Brüko. I am convinced of its quality by using it since years already. As my hands have hold other instruments, too, I can say you can't do something wrong buying such one. Unfortunately this one is not avalaible any more, but there are other fine ukuleles by the same producers. By the way, I am telling you this not because of any commercial participation, but because of the importance having a good instrument. Especially as a beginner you shouldn't buy the cheap made ones for you would lose your joy resuming you weren't ever able to make it sound. In fact it is just the quality of your uke that keeps you playing or hanging it on the wall...
