I bought one of these ukes. Your recommendation was part of my decision to purchase one. The uke itself is nothing special. The value of this uke is in being able to use the app. I have had this uke for three days and have been in contact with Populele about the fact that the app does not work. It often does not recognize when you play the right chord. It will not bring up the next lesson it says should be open to you. It has a long load time for songs. And then, to top it off, the app spontaneously closes on my Samsung Galaxy Eight Plus. I would highly recommend not to buy this uke until the software for the app is really fixed. And yes, rather than have purchasers bug test it for them, they should have made sure the app worked on Apple and Android systems before they sent it out. And even if the app does eventually work it is an expensive novelty, and arguably not the best way to learn to play the uke, given there is no sheet music to practice with.
Thanks John, just ordered mine and I can't wait to receive it. Slow boat from China. It is the Populele S1, I kind of liked the traditional wood look of the rosewood. It will not replace my KALA but it will be great to have the ability to learn a new song faster. Thanks for your channel. Reading the other comments, I guess I am a year behind everyone else.
bluetooth Ukulele...and they didnt call it a Blukulele? come on product guys, you had that handed to you gift wrapped. think before you market shit, just think...do words and stuff. it was right there on top.
I just ordered one. thanks for your awesome review I've been waiting 4 a trusted ukulele instructor to video review this before I purchased it. Keep up the good work. thanks for putting out all the awesome free ukulele videos
Thanks for the awesome review. I love the sound of that ukulele and the fact that it is a smart ukulele is crazy! I am an elementary music teacher and just started ukulele program at my school. This ukulele would blow the minds of the kids. Love your videos and am I now a forever subscriber!
Maurine it's the same concept as the app shown in this video, except it works better, goes more in-depth and isn't for only ONE instrument in particular, you can also play piano,guitar,bass, and electric guitar
hello John to be honest this is a uke I could definitely use mom has dementia and i find myself suffering from short term memory loss I have played around with the guitar for over 40' years now but about 6 months ago I brought my first uke and are on my second now and really enjoy playing but every time I pick up my uke to play I can't seem to get the chords to register in my brain without having to look them up every time I play so I think personally for people like me this will be a nice instrument and keep up the good work I have learned a lot from you many thanks Ray X
Love your videos, you're the reason I know how to play anything on a ukulele. Mr. Ukulele teacher, have you considered doing some tutorials on songs from Hamilton? I assure you tons of people would love for you to do a few. If you do please do Satisfied, it's such a great song and I and many other fans would be so excited. Anyways, keep up the good work
This is so freaking cool!!! I'd never stop playing haha I got sent a concert ukulele the other day and I really want to play it but I have no idea how to tune a ukulele 😬
But why? When your playing you can't really look at both the screen and ukulele and it does seem quit novel. Ukulele is super easy to learn too so the product is kinda useless but I see how the app could be useful.
I'm Not Important I was thinking the same. I learned how to play my ukulele in just 2 weeks. So I can see how the is sort of a waste of money :/ it sure looks cool though right? 😂
I agree it could be nice for kids. But I feel the same, as I already play the piano and the guitar a little bit I really just needed a bit more than a day to remember all the basic chords.
It looks awesome! I wonder if I can use just the app to learn the chords... I have been playing for a while but always need to see the chords before, they don't stay in my brain for long... 😅
oh my god we had to come up with an invention for a school project for a couple of weeks ago and i had this exact same idea. i didn't know it was a real thing! this is so cool
I'm not a beginner, but this looked so cool I went and bought one. I can't wait until it ships. I think this will help me teach people the ukulele. And lights!!!! Does it do finger picking lessons, too?
And so many people complaining even for the price yet they waste 1000 bucks on a phone and are even "happy". The instrument is really nice and the app may need improvement. The video is very nice, keep it up!
my first thoughts on seeing it out the box: "oh its so cute!" and as it starts working: "it got even cuter!!" awww I want this but i already know how to play cx
Your videos are amazing and help me so much learning to play the uke!!!!! I love all the familiar songs and they make it a blast to play! I was thinking it would be cool if you did "castaway" by zac brown??
honestly that seems a little steep for a beginner uke. according to the igg account the retail price will be 200$ + tax... I got my Kala limited edition kaa for around 70$ and it's a great starter uke, I love it!
The close up of the charging port looks like there is a ding in the body of the uke and the seams are not totally sealed. Like it might of been damaged.
The main question I have is. Do I have to retune often? That's the main reason you want to invest into a more expensive uke right? I got a really cheap one to start learning, but had to retune alot.
So this is being done by the same people that crowdsourced it on Mijia and was $58? Any chance of a bigger size one? My fingers are too big - I need a tenor ukulele.
cool! Is there a game that helps you learn scales? I haven't had much luck finding simple, intuitive instructions on learning scales. I love your app but the scale stuff doesn't make any sense to me. Cheers and keep up the awesome vids!
Interesting concept! To bad it's not available yet. And that they are not shipping crowd funding popuLeles outside the US :-/ (Funny short riff at 1:12 - can I download the tabs/notes somewhere?)
hey, hope you are having a wonderful day. I was just wondering if you could do a tutorial on "sweet Louise" by the bell brigade.... it would make me so happy 😊
Mr poopybutthole HOLY FLIP FLOP DIDDLY FLIP FLOP AGREED. LIKE BARCELONA OR GALWAY GIRL OR NANCY MULLIGAN. also you can learn shape of you on ten thumbs 😊 their channel is also great for ukulele
YEAH OR ERASER OR NEW MAN OR ANY SONG AT ALL FROM THAT ALBUM PLEASE THE UKULELE TEACHER 30 PEOPLE AGREED WITH ME WHEN I COMMENTED IT. PLEASE PLEASE DO ONE MORE SONG FROM EDS NEW ALBUM
how much is that smart ukulele?? and where can u buy it??, It feels like I want to buy like that since its helpful...ur video r the best... I learn most of the song chords in ukulele from ur videos.

I hope that your wife really is saved to your phone as Mrs. Uke Teacher. That's fucking precious.
chandalikepanda ikr that's really cute😂😂
Dammit my box cutters aren't in tune, how do you tune it again?

+The Ukulele Teacher 😂😂😂😂😂😂
The Ukulele Teacher oh my gosh 😂😂😂😂

So solidly built that the neck doesn't need to fully attach to the body. 2:17
The neck breathes the spirit on Bluetooth - No physical connection.
Check out the POPULELE - the world's first SMART uke!
The Ukulele Teacher do you have a ukulele that you no longer use?
I love your passion for the ukulele. I just recently got my first ukulele, and I can tell your videos are going to be a huge help😊
That's so cool - have fun with your new uke!
The Ukulele Teacher wish you can notice me😭😭😭someone stole my ukulele and im just here watching your video without ukulele.😭😭😭
same as me! These videos definitely help!
Melly Alvarado Stay strong bro
"oh yeah wait a minute lemme charge my ukulele"
Jackalakariley that’s only to use the app lml you can play it without charging it😵
@@joselvp6162 ok

Thanks John, just ordered mine and I can't wait to receive it. Slow boat from China. It is the Populele S1, I kind of liked the traditional wood look of the rosewood. It will not replace my KALA but it will be great to have the ability to learn a new song faster. Thanks for your channel. Reading the other comments, I guess I am a year behind everyone else.

I NEED THIS IN MY LIFE!!!
I'm getting my first ukulele tomorrow and I'm so excited! And I hope when time passes by I'll be able to get the populele!
Thanks for the awesome review. I love the sound of that ukulele and the fact that it is a smart ukulele is crazy! I am an elementary music teacher and just started ukulele program at my school. This ukulele would blow the minds of the kids. Love your videos and am I now a forever subscriber!
When I saw the led frets I was amazed! I have a electric piano that does that but I never knew ukes could!
has no-one here heard of 'yousician'?
chicken for real I always get yousician ads before his videos
chicken what is it?
Maurine it's the same concept as the app shown in this video, except it works better, goes more in-depth and isn't for only ONE instrument in particular, you can also play piano,guitar,bass, and electric guitar
Awesome thank you! I will look into that!
yeah but the main point of this is the led lights
hello John to be honest this is a uke I could definitely use mom has dementia and i find myself suffering from short term memory loss I have played around with the guitar for over 40' years now but about 6 months ago I brought my first uke and are on my second now and really enjoy playing but every time I pick up my uke to play I can't seem to get the chords to register in my brain without having to look them up every time I play so I think personally for people like me this will be a nice instrument and keep up the good work I have learned a lot from you many thanks Ray X

How do you play that cool little melody from 1:13-1:16 ?
This is so freaking cool!!! I'd never stop playing haha I got sent a concert ukulele the other day and I really want to play it but I have no idea how to tune a ukulele 😬
But why? When your playing you can't really look at both the screen and ukulele and it does seem quit novel. Ukulele is super easy to learn too so the product is kinda useless but I see how the app could be useful.
I'm Not Important I was thinking the same. I learned how to play my ukulele in just 2 weeks. So I can see how the is sort of a waste of money :/ it sure looks cool though right? 😂
I think it might be perfect for kids who are just starting out
I agree it could be nice for kids. But I feel the same, as I already play the piano and the guitar a little bit I really just needed a bit more than a day to remember all the basic chords.
Well, it seems to be a very handy instrument for beginners for sure, and perhaps even for the one like you. Lovely
It looks awesome! I wonder if I can use just the app to learn the chords... I have been playing for a while but always need to see the chords before, they don't stay in my brain for long... 😅
Can you use the app with a normal ukulele?
Haenschenoftaenzchen yes! It's just by sound
Haenschenoftaenzchen not really
Holy crap, I NEED this!! The LED fret board alone is worth it
MRS. UKULELE TEACHER! 😂😂
Bless this man. He is jusy so innocent and nice.
your sarcasm gets me aha i actually love your videos! X
oh my god we had to come up with an invention for a school project for a couple of weeks ago and i had this exact same idea. i didn't know it was a real thing! this is so cool
PLEASE DO A TUTORIAL ON GALWAY GIRL
this channel is so good why hasn't he reached 1 million yet?
I'm not a beginner, but this looked so cool I went and bought one. I can't wait until it ships. I think this will help me teach people the ukulele.
And lights!!!!
Does it do finger picking lessons, too?
Best teacher ever.
Thank you for the awesome video! Can you turn off the LEDs on the Ukelele in case you want to?
The populele is so beautiful! I love it!!
I just got a new ukulele. It's a studio laurel canyon uke, and it's really nice sounding, looking, and feeling. My question is, do I need this?
When he showed that he made the lights spell out 'John' i swear i freaked out about how cute that was.
And so many people complaining even for the price yet they waste 1000 bucks on a phone and are even "happy". The instrument is really nice and the app may need improvement. The video is very nice, keep it up!
I live in LA, I should totally go to NAMM next year!
I barley got my ukulele and I'm learning how to play it!!! I now know the first line of the adventure time theme song thank you!!!
This is so cool! I found it on amazon, and ordered one for my son
I NEED TO BUY THAT THING... BUT I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY TO BUY IT😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Rainbow Dash like everybody
😞😞😞😭😭😭
Rainbow Dash I know that feeling but at least we still have our ukes :)
It’s not really necessary. Just buying a cheap $20 uke and watching RUclips videos and practicing the chords on my own works just fine
my first thoughts on seeing it out the box: "oh its so cute!" and as it starts working: "it got even cuter!!" awww I want this but i already know how to play cx
At 2:20 it looks like the back of the neck isn't even connected to the body, is it supposed to be like that? It looks like it was broken off.
_lights continue flashing to the rhythm of his voice_
well, I guess his voice is his best instrument..
So futurist! I like it, looks a good help to learn more play ukulele!!!
He's so adorable
I'm getting a uke really soon and I can't wait! If definitely going to use your videos to help me :)
2:18 it looks like the neck is coming off the uke is it?
LittleJayOne Damn that dont looks good
Is he a dad? Because he’s got such a dad’s humor lol
Awesome videos btw!
Will you please do something by cage the elephant!!!
Your videos are amazing and help me so much learning to play the uke!!!!! I love all the familiar songs and they make it a blast to play! I was thinking it would be cool if you did "castaway" by zac brown??
honestly that seems a little steep for a beginner uke.
according to the igg account the retail price will be 200$ + tax...
I got my Kala limited edition kaa for around 70$ and it's a great starter uke, I love it!
I want one *now.*
I wonder if it would still be good for a lefty
can you please give a lesson of sultans of swing??!
Excellent review! Thanks for being passionate about a really cool musical instrument. Keep the reviews coming!
can you do waiting on the world to change?
The close up of the charging port looks like there is a ding in the body of the uke and the seams are not totally sealed. Like it might of been damaged.
The main question I have is. Do I have to retune often? That's the main reason you want to invest into a more expensive uke right? I got a really cheap one to start learning, but had to retune alot.
not sure how you'd even go about this but could you do a tutorial on playing by ear??
Hey there :D
I was just wondering if you could do an tutorial Twenty one Pilots: Time to say goodbye cover?
Would be really nice.
cya :D
Oh my goodness it looks so cool! I want one now!!!
this looks so cool!!! Do you know when it will be coming out in canada? I love your videos
I would love one of those!!
And the app sounds awesome too oh my goodness!
How much... does it cost though?
This sounds like such a fun Ukulele! I kinda want play on one now!
Is the app only for the populele? And if not does the ukulele have to be one of those plug ins to play it?
please please make a tutorial for liability by lorde!!! I love your videos, they are so helpful
Hello! Nice video! You mentioned the populele doesn't need to be restrung immediately? For other beginner ukuleles do you recommend doing it though?
Please can you do a tutorial on how to play jar of hearts!!!!! 🙏
My fave ukulele teacher because He is always happy
can you do more than words by extreme tutorial? plssss 😍
itsbeatriche YESSSSS PLEASE
Did any of you notice the gap in between the body and bottom of the neck at 2:17???
So this is being done by the same people that crowdsourced it on Mijia and was $58? Any chance of a bigger size one? My fingers are too big - I need a tenor ukulele.
Thanks for the recommendation. A great start for my kid
hey can you please do a tutorial on supermarket flowers or galway girl from ed sheeran, it would be awesome to hear those songs played on the uke
Can you please teach "Sons and Daughters" by Allman Brown and Liz Lawrence?

Wow that looks so fun and cool! Now I really want one

Can you please do "When will my life begin" from Tangled?!
Can you please do a tutorial on DaithiDeNogla's Tired? I can't find any tabs or tutorials anywhere and it's a shame because it's a really lovely song.
I've been looking at ukulele's, and do you recommend the Kala Brand Soprano uke? (its in my budget and seems good)
I Think I Need Some New Box Cutters. They Keep Getting Out Of Tune :/

Which one sounds better ukulele or populele?
Can you please do a tutorial on "Say you won't let go" by James Arthur. PLEASE!!!
Can you please do a video on how to play Mad All The Time by a band called Waterparks?
It'll be great if the people behind this populele mentioned it to you the MSRP or did I just missed that in this video.
I still want the simple and manual one. But I won't be choosy this time, because I haven't got one yet. :(
Do they have ones for lefties because it was so hard to find my lefty uke but I found one but it was a bit on the expensive side
