Ukulele Jake Certified. This is an excellent ukulele to start off with! This is the very same uke I started my ukulele career with too! The key difference between buying a ukulele from anywhere else and buying this one is that this one comes pre-tuned. I see to it that each ukulele is tailored to it’s peak performance. Any other ukulele bought online or in a store will take weeks to keep tune. This can be extremely frustrating and a huge set back on beginning to play the uke. This ukulele, however, will only need a couple minor twists to the tuning pegs and you’re good to go!
