Thanks for watching this Amazon ukulele review video! Make sure to check the description for links to every ukulele I mention in the video. Which ukulele did you like the best?
OmG The HOLA Ukulele is the One I got, mine is Purple my favorite color💜💜💜💜💜💜💜💜
Yea my first time tuning a instrument and it did take a while but I love it so MUCH!!!
Omg I did wanted to get the colorful Ukulele, I'll probably get that one too lol
This was so helpful and you have great energy, thank you!
You are my favorite ukulele youtuber!
Okay I keep seeing the rainbow ukulele on your Instagram and I HAD to find a review for it, so thank you!!!!
How many ukes do u own?
1:07
Makala soprano
4:30
Hola! Concert
9:51
Balnna concert
Those Makala shark are a music teacher favorite for the price and quality and color options. Teachers want something that sounds good so that they can train their students’ ears and the color options allow them to buy them in school colors ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜🖤
Agreed!
The Balnna might be a good option for kids what with the coloured fret markers and strings. First video of yours I've watched Ricky, very nice. By the way, name for your next-to-desk ukes, "daily beaters"!
My music teacher has them
Aklot is actually another good option, in case anyone wants an additional one. Cost me $59 (back when i bought it 2 years ago), concert model, with a little starter kit as well.
I’ll have to check that one out! Thanks for letting me know.
I started ukulele classes exactly a year ago and bought the Malala green shark ukulele! I bought it on Amazon but I love sharks and fell in love with the green color. My teacher liked the sound and the punch that it gives. I didn’t have too much to spend but this is the one for me. Thanks for a great video.
My fingers aren’t thicc, but I am 😏
😊😊😊😊 THICC gang!
Bernadette Teaches Music I love your vids!
Thiccy Bernadette Teaches Musiccy
Thanks Ricky I HAD to order the rainbow uke right after I watched this video
Yes it’s beautiful ❤luv it!

😂😂😂
Bro SA mE😂😂
Me At 2:04 am 😂😂
Im really about to buy another ukulele💀
😂😂😂
SAME
I’m going to get my first and is where to start. What was your first?
I've been really curious about Hola for a gift for a friend. There are so many great approachably priced instruments - love this kind of video review!
Thank you, Molly. The Hola ukulele was a stand out. Great price, awesome gig bag and the sound was great! It’s a win for me. 😊
Adam with !Hola is great to deal with. I gave their ukes for Christmas presents.
Great company!
Hey, I just wanted to pop up here real quick. When I was first buying a ukulele, I knew absolutely nothing about ukuleles. I bought a Stagg US-RED ukulele and I wanted to recommend it for all the confused people out there. I have seen plenty of cheap ukuleles in my life, but this one is the bet one yet. It's really cheap, you can get it for as little as 35 euro in lots of places. It is well-made, definitely does not look like it would break when playing a little harder. It looks clean, sounds amazing, it has pretty soft strings, so it's perfect for people that have never played a string instrument before. It's tiny and handy. I have it for 2 years now, no defects, looks almost like new. This is my full honest opinion, and it is not biased or influenced in any way. I highly recommend this ukulele and i hope I helped :)
I recently bought my very first ukulele from amazon aswell! It was under the 75 price tag and its amazing! Its a beautiful blue Enya concert uke, i really recommend it aswell!
Thank you! High prices don’t always mean the uke is better. So happy you like your uke! The Enya is a favorite of mine for sure.
Thanks my daughter has always wanted a ukulele to play at the beach during the sunset, she likes to play soft songs on her electric guitar at the beach and she’s always wanted to try a ukulele so I thought one from Amazon would be better.
Buying a ukulele tonight and I saw your videos show up when I searched! So glad to find you, love your energy and genuine personality! And you are not at all bad to look at!
Haha anyways, thanks a lot for the videos! I hope all is well with you and your loved ones!
How's it going?
I commented below but I forgot to say it was the Rainbow that I just bought and it sounds fantastic. I love it. I got it in Soprano, though usually I buy concert, but I love having this little colorful soprano just to make my collection pretty.
I'm so excited! I just bought myself and my daughter our first ukulele thank you so much for the great advice and we're getting the strings too.
Thanks for this! In the market for a ukulele to get to know the instrument. Your presentation is great and you come across very down to earth! I feel like I would love to sit and talk chords and music and Ukes and guitars (I’m a guitarist) over a coffee with you.
Hey you are like the sassiest man I know and I'm here for it. Keep doing you man
😂😂 thanks!
I just bought a fifty five dollars and five cents Uke. I'm retiring my anything near full time work, not my choice, and I sit alone day and night. I bought three kalimbas, 21,17, and 8 keys and the uke here. Can you please give me any tips on music to start with that will teach me the most to learn and memorize? I'm going to try low g strings when I understand better what options I want to choose from 😃
I just ordered the Balnna ukulele and i'm so excited to learn how to play!
That’s amazing! You are going to love it.
How is it? Do you like it and which size did you get?
I'm thinking about buying it.
you're so underrated!! I love your videos!
Thank you so much!
We lefties have a few options. Many will restring and flip the uke to strum/pick with left hand. Sometimes the nut will need to be fixed for that. I'm learning right handed, because it irks me to not be able to just pick up and play what I want I a store, or for side fret markers and pick-ups to be on the wrong side for me. And a few of us will just flip the uke without restringing and learn the chord shapes that way. XD
I met a left handed ukulele player a few days ago and when she told me the struggles of lefty uke players it really made me think how spoiled us right handed uke players are. I wonder if there is a video I can make that is just for lefties. I would love to hear your thoughts. 😁
@@rickysomborn - I think that would be great! It's definitely more confusing starting out as a lefty, because the first thing we have to consider is something most players never have to think about... and there is no single answer. We all have different ways of coping with things that weren't designed for us. Some players have to play left handed because their brain is wired pretty hard that way. Then we have to flip chord charts in our heads when learning new chords.
I can do some things with my right hand, but it's not as dexterous, fast, or strong as my left. It means that strumming and picking patterns can take me more time to master, but once I have them down, I'm good to go. I like to do warm ups and exercises to build up muscle memory, and that's helping me develop more fine control and comfort.
Funny thing is that when I do air guitar or air uke, I still naturally play left handed. Lol
Hello! I‘m probably wrong, but didn’t I heard some intonation problem in G string, on the last one?
Looking back the g string did make a little weird sound but that was on my part. The ukulele sounds amazing i didn’t catch the slight mess up from my form when playing the uke. Good catch!
I just spotted this one recently too, and bought it and LOVE it. I feels and sound great.
Be a bro. Watch the ads. 👊🏼
😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Could you maybe do a tutorial on chord changes? I have big trouble with that!
100% yes 😊
Awesome thank you so much!
I LOVE the three of them, the Balnna uke is GORGEOUS but I can't find in Spain, so sad :(
Ahhhh ohhh no. Hopefully they will release this ukulele in Spain soon
Same problem with Germany and the Hola Uke, unless I pay 49€ for Shipping und 120€ for the Uke itself. 😭
Edit: none of the ukuleles are available in Germany. 😐
@@rickysomborn I've contacted the brand in Facebook to see if there's a possibility to get it shipped, I am SO in love with it. Ricky THANKS for you tutorials, I can't count all the songs I know thanks to you.
Ahhhh oh no!!! I’ll see if there is anything I can do.
Send me a DM on Instagram and maybe I can help out if they can’t. 😊
This is one of the three ukes I’m picking up next. The Balnna I mean.
Yes the Balnna is beautiful 😍 I just purchased the Tenor! Just unboxed it yesterday and I love it!
Yes!!! Your video was great!
Just paid $23 and change for a Hola! HM-121TTS(Tattoo) Soprano. It's listed at about 50% off but when you click to check out it adds another $9 and change savings. Just an incredible value atm.
I’ve been watching your videos for a long time now and I ordered one of the one u recommended and its coming soon 😬😬 can’t wait to start learning🤭☺️
That’s amazing! Which one did you end up getting?
After seeing this review I just ordered the rainbow (Hawaiian Grain) ukulele by Balnna, in TENOR🤸🏼♀
So now we're Uke twins!!!🤗🌈🎸🌈
UKE TWINS!! I really love the Balnna uke! still a go to in my collection :)
@@rickysomborn -That's awesome🤗
Honestly, the Makala would be my top choice out of those options! It had the fullest and most pleasant “bell” sound to me. I probably would buy it if it didn’t have the shark on it lol. This helped me pick a birthday gift for a friend wanting to learn! Thanks for the helpful review!!
On a side note:
Do you usually look up tabs to learn songs or do you figure out the chords by ear?
Pretty sure they have without the shark or any animals if that’s what you want. I also did see a dolphin as well. As far as chords, I do both. Sometimes there won’t be chords for a song yet (if it’s super new) then I will figure it out. Other times I see what’s out there as far as chords for songs and usually always change them to make the song use the easiest chords possible and also sound as close to the original song as possible. 😁
Ricky Somborn I see! Thank you! Keep up the good work, I enjoy watching and playing along with your videos!
Thank you 😊
Hello Ricky, could you do a tutorial of any Niall Horan song? Thank you ❤️
Yes, definitely! I’ll start working on a song soon.
Ricky Somborn thank you so much
"Next-to-desker"...??? I am waiting on the soprano one and can't wait to use it & carry the gig bag!!! :)
bought the hola one! cw to see what it's like
Of course, the rainbow model toward the end is now $73 for the soprano, $85 for the concert. 🤣
Hi, I'm looking to get the soprano or concert for my girlfriend. I can't decide because I don't know much of a difference
All 3 ukes are really great choices. You can’t go wrong with any of them
Idk but the rainbow one is pretty cool... 🤷♀️
Thanks for the Uke video, trying to find a lefty for my man. The Ukes next to you desk should be called your “sidekicks” , just a suggestion. Aloha🌺
Ohhh I love “the sidekicks!” That’s what I’ll call them 😊
What is your recommendation for an economical soprano ukulele in black for a petite adult
Price $65 - 80
With or without gigbag
I would love to see a video about starter electric Ukes for those who will eventually be playing in a band.
Damn, that Balnna uke is now $89.99... Probably because Christmas just ended so I'll keep watching it on Amazon. Thanks for the video!!
Oh wow! Yeah, I would keep an eye on it. The prices fluctuate $20. They sometimes randomly do sale prices.
it’s now 64 dollars
Fun fact I have been playing for a year and I am a left handed player. Which is awesome that you mentioned that because that is not super comment I don't think lol
I never thought about left handed players and how little there are talks about it. I want to try and make a video playing left handed and maybe buying a left handed uke to showcase that. Could be interesting 😊
@@rickysomborn yes that would be awesome I first got my left handed ukulele in Hawaii and I actually saw you playing on the Instagram page that they have.
Love the color of the Bana
It’s a great one 😊
You should review the Kala Colo Chord beginner soprano uke on Amazon! It’s cheap and it’s 20 dollars, so I would love to see if it’s worth the price and if it would be worth it to snag one!
I'll check that uke out! Thanks for letting me know about this one
Know anything about Piesan?
No cutout hole, but decor holes top & bottom near of lower fret board?
My
Makala Shark cracked in the back and because I don't have my receipt they wont fix it
This is totally helpful. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks! Happy it’s helpful
Do you recommend Flight Ukuleles??
When you get tired of the Banna. I'll take it!
Haha deal! 😁
I think I’m going to buy the Balnna. I have a question for you- I’m a left handed person but I’ve been trying to learn to play guitar and ukulele off and on for years. But I’ve been playing right-handed. Do you think I should switch to learning left handed?
The Balnna is a great uke! I think if you want to learn to switch that’s great but not necessary you can still be a left handed uke player.
Enya Concert Ukulele 23 Inch Solid Mahogany Top IS THAT A GOOD UKULELE BECAUSE IDKPLSRESPOND
I love the sound of the low G but how do you switch the strings?
Thanks! I can definitely make a video showing how to change strings. 😊
@@rickysomborn Omg thank you for replying!!! I would love nothing more!!!!
Hi, Ricky, I've been given a paisen ukelele. Since it is the first time I have one, could you please make a review of this brand. Mine is the one wich is made out of spruce and has little sound holes both sides of the fretboard. Just discovered your channel. Thanks a lot for helping us with ukeleles...
I’m getting the third one!
What would you suggest for a beginner.?
Do a vida on carbon fiber ukulele
Hi, I just discovered your channel and it is awesome, thank you for all those tutorials and reviews! I started playing the ukulele a year ago with a 23 euros concert Harley Benton ukulele from the website thomann.de and... well, it's 100% playable and still works after a year! I can't compare it to any other uke since I only own this one but I can recommend it for a beginner like me with a really tiny budget!
I love this. Expensive ukes don’t always mean best ukes. There are some great affordable ukuleles that sound just as good. 😊
I just bought something I don’t know how to use based on your review... lord help me and my impulses 😭😩
There is 4 things that i never have enough women,money,ukulele and pizza lol
Women? That rude u know
@@MiuMui0 whats rude about woman.
@@joeylabranche1014 😪 nvm u won't understand if ur not a girl
How long did the shipping take for these to come in i want one but im not patient at all🤣
Unfortunately, the Makala shark is not really suitable for a mature adult. Great for a kid: cute & good sound & quality
I wish all these ukuleles were available in India 😭 so beautiful ❤️
Ahhhh oh no!
I think it could be a hilarious video if you tried one of those DIY ukulele kits where you basically build your own uke! I think they're super cheap but mostly think it would be a funny video lol ALSO, what kind of strings are on that kala soprano uke? I haven't seen white strings or atleast mine doesn't have white strings. Is there a difference or is it just a color thing?
So you read my mind!! I just got a DIY kit sent today and I'm going to work on that video this week! Also the strings on the Kala are Aquila Nylgut strings. I'm not sure if color really means a lot. But another brand of strings that I love are D'Addario strings.
What?! What a ukedink! (Ukulele + koinkidink *sp*) I'm ordering one right now so I can do it while I watch your video then! Hopefully these kids aren't that awful and I don't have to chuck it in my fire pit in the end lol
Kits*!! I would not chuck a kid into my fire pit....
Your D’ukes. Your royal 👑 desk ukes.
Haha omg I love this name!!!
I really want the Balnna, but I'm left handed so the strap peg would be at the top of the neck. Does anyone know if those pegs can be taken out and what happens if you do? I have a uke, so I'm not a total beginner, but I just have no experience with strap pegs.
You can definitely remove them with a skrewdriver pretty easily. You will just be left with a hole. Could cover it up with something though.
@@rickysomborn Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. Much respect Ricky! :)
Hi ricky👋🏻i have a question im starting to play ukulele and i dont know if i should use plektrums?🤷🏻♀️
Also, I'd like to see which are your next to desk ukes :D
That could be a great video idea. Thanks 😁
@@rickysomborn Yes do it!
Which is the best out of all
All of them are great ukes but I would suggest the Hola Concert Ukulele
@@rickysomborn ok thank you
thanks I really needed this!
😊❤️
I need to buy another one now😂😂
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Ahhhhh YOU RESPONDED THANK YOU😂😅 I LOVE YOU CHANNEL KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK
Do you have a ukulele recommendation for 50 dollars I want it for my birthday
So um~ my birthday is coming up on October 16...aaaaand I’ve been wanting to learn an instrument for a while now. I watched your other videos and I decided I want the sound of the Flight Tenor Ukulele. Then I saw here that you recommend this beautiful bluish green concert ukulele and now I can’t decide >u
Happy early Birthday!! That Green/blueish ukulele is from Hola! and I really love it. Also the price is awesome for the great quality ukulele. If you like this one I also recommend looking into the Enya Ukulele model EUC-25D. It comes in this really beautiful blue color and its around $70.
Ricky Somborn why thank you for the greeting and the advices! ^^ I’ll take them into consideration as I really love the color. You’re so approachable. Take care!!
YOOOO my birthday is on the 16th too! Happy early birthday
I have never played the ukulele before and I want to buy one for less then £50. Do you recommend the flight travel uke?
Flight travel are great I would also look into Kala travel series.
@@rickysomborn thank you. I just got my flight tus-50 today and its really good!

That’s pretty awesome. Does this rainbow one come in a tenor size?
Unfortunately only soprano and concert sized. Would be a game changer if it came in tenor though!
Ricky Somborn I agree. I soon as I saw and heard you play this I wanted it and before you finished the showing of it I was trying to find the tenor to buy and was going to... but I couldn’t find it. 😔😊
It is available in tenor size now on Amazon for $84.99
Hi Ricky Ive Been Inspired To Play The Ukelele By Watching Your Channel Thank You So Much And I Wish You Can Get A 100k Channel Omg Its Been Too Long Anyways THANKYOU!!
I have the Balnna... the action out of the box is crap.
I bought my first uke for 55 dollar but i had a discount i bought it for 40 dollar
Hi Ricky could you do a tutorial on recess by Melanie Martinez?
I’ll look into it. Thanks! 😊
Your awesome bro thank you
Wow I like your videos ❤️
Thank you!
Am I the only one who can't find the blue version of the 2nd one?
Looks like they removed the green one but most likely will add it back.
How about the $50 range
I have another amazon review videos where I reviewed a $30 ukulele from Vorson and it was great for the price.
Ricky Somborn I caved and bought the great white! I’m excited to start learning!
Should I impulse buy a ukelele right now?
No.
Will I?
Yes.
They are all so pretty and I think the second one sounds so good !
Ps: I don't like sopranos neither 😂
Agreed 😊
Easily a 200 plus dollar uke...amazing...must be balnna trying to break into the market..they have over engineered and thown in expensive quality accessories that established manufactures wont.prob going to be their best effort snap em up lol
Im looking to buy a ukulele my budget is 85
They've nearly tripled the price now of the rainbow one 💀😭
WHAT!!!! that's not good!! I will need to make an updated video on this! thank you for letting me know
I wanna start learning the ukulele but I'm broke lmao so just going to have to watch your tutorials and pretend I have one
I do a lot of ukulele giveaways on my Instagram if you aren't following me there already :)
@@rickysomborn oh wow thx
@@rickysomborn I followed you xx ❣
I got my beginner uke for 29 bucks it works really well and I’ve been playing for 1 year I hoping to get a more professional one but I’m sure you can find a cheap uke that is good. Never give up uke is supper fun to play ! Good luck!
