Best Ukuleles of 2025

"I've been wanting a ukulele all winter. At 67 years old, I’ve played guitar for decades, but I was amazed at how quickly my granddaughter learned to play. We’re already playing duets together! The ukulele came with a nice case, an extra set of strings, and a digital tuner. The sound is fantastic, and it’s just so much fun to play!"

"I’m a beginner and I didn’t have high expectations for this ukulele. However, I was really pleased with its quality. The sound is great, and I’ve been enjoying learning on it.

"I did extensive research before buying this Ukulele. For the price, it’s an excellent choice for beginners. I'm really pleased with my purchase.

The tone is lovely and it's just the right size for traveling."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this Ukulele. It has no flaws and sounds better than expected. As a beginner, I found the strings were loose initially, requiring several tunings, but that’s typical. The included accessories are useful, especially the tuner which I find easier to use than my previous one."

"I was looking for a mahogany soprano and found this one at a fair price. It came with everything I needed to get started, including a tuner and gig bag. The sound is good, and I had to tune it a few times initially until the strings settled. Now, it holds its tune well and I plan to pass it to my son while I upgrade."

"I purchased this ukulele for my daughter after her instructor recommended it. She chose the rich blue color, and it sounds amazing!

I highly recommend it!"

"I got this ukulele for my 9-year-old niece, and she loved it! The wood grain is visible through the stained blue finish, which I really appreciate.

"This ukulele is a fantastic option for beginners! I was impressed by the wood finish and the sound quality.

Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone starting their musical journey!"

"I gifted this ukulele to my sister, and while it does the job, the quality is questionable. It goes out of tune quickly, and the nut is too high, but it's still a good introduction to the instrument. I’d suggest getting a better one if they enjoy it."

"I have been playing ukulele for about 4 years, along with 25 years of guitar and bass. I was looking for a concert scale ukulele to fill a size gap and stumbled upon the Enya Nova U. I was initially skeptical about a 'plastic' uke, but after seeing several reviews, I decided to give it a shot. Upon arrival, I was amazed by the feel of the neck and the unique harp-like sound. The action is perfect, and it plays effortlessly. The included gig bag is nicer than most I've seen, and I was thoroughly impressed with the quality overall. This ukulele has completely changed my perspective, and I can't see going back to my previous travel uke."

"My ukulele group often plays outdoors, which made me hesitant to expose my expensive koa ukulele to the elements. I opted for a cheap option initially, but it didn't meet my expectations. I then found the Enya carbon fiber ukulele and couldn't resist the price, especially during the holiday sale. To my surprise, it sounds as good as many high-end ukuleles I've tried. The quality is impressive, and the included case is decent too. I wholeheartedly recommend this instrument for anyone looking for a reliable and good-sounding ukulele."

"I purchased two ukuleles, one for myself and one for my daughter. Both are beautiful instruments. I love the tone of my KA-S; it's richer and fuller than the KA-15S. The only issue is the loose tuning peg on the KA-S, but it doesn't affect tuning. Overall, I absolutely love both instruments!"

"As my first instrument, this ukulele has been fantastic. It sounds great and is so much fun to play. I believe it surpasses many other brands for the cost. The fact that it's laminate means I can take it anywhere without worrying about humidity or temperature. For $50, it's an amazing deal!"

“I found the Everjoys ukulele to be the perfect Soprano Ukulele I was searching for. It arrived quickly and was well-packaged. My son, who is really into music, is thrilled with it and has begun his ukulele learning journey. The quality of the wood is impressive, and it feels like a real instrument, not a toy. The blackwood fingerboard looks fantastic and the craftsmanship is remarkable. The strings are top-notch and sound great once tuned with the Everjoys digital tuner. The included songbook is also a great resource for beginners.”

“As a novice, I’m quite satisfied with this 21-inch ukulele. It’s a lovely kit, and I appreciate the digital tuner, which is essential for me since tuning was challenging at first. I chose the honey color, and it suits me perfectly. After owning it for a month, I have no complaints, but I do wish a strap had been included to make playing easier when standing.”

“I'm really enjoying this ukulele! It's a great starter kit that includes everything necessary to begin. The quality is impressive, and it was delivered quickly. For anyone starting out, I can't recommend this enough.”

"I purchased this ukulele for myself and my granddaughter to learn together. It's perfectly sized for her 3-year-old frame, and the sound is surprisingly good for the price! Tuning took a while initially, but now it seems to hold a tune after some time. The included tuner was confusing without instructions, but the wipe cloth and case are lovely touches!"

"I chose this ukulele for my 7-year-old grandson. For the price, the quality is excellent! It stays in tune after a few days, and I appreciate the pegs that secure the strings. The soft case is sturdy, and the included tuner is easy for kids to use. I’m excited for Christmas morning!"
