Reason for -1 star: Though the uke was delivered with safe packaging, the delivery was delayed and it arrived after 11 days of placing the order.
Coming to the uke, I have just started learning it. Initially, the strings require tuning which can be done using the Kala's Ukulele Tuner App on your phone. The sound is loud enough to hear but yes you cannot expect it to sound like a Tenor size Ukulele.
I purchased the Soprano Uke size Gig Bag separately. Even the bag has enough padding and the uke fits into it comfortably.
For a beginner like me, it's just perfect❤️❤️. Thanks Bajaao!!
