Black is soooo boring, life is better with a splash of colour!
I think we should all get one at £15 a pop and see if we can get a multicoloured ukulele band together?

Nope.

On second thoughts, I'd like to see Cojak's reaction when she meets you!

It comes woefully out of tune and you'll need to keep tuning until the strings stretch, I use this: Online Ukulele Tuner

Got excellent reviews for only £15.
Thought that would be a nice thing to learn in the garden - should also nicely annoy the neighbours
We will have to duet at the next meet......

The definition of good manners is......having the ability to play a uke, but never actually playing it......get a proper ******* guitar........a lot of the (triad based) chord shapes are the same and it doesn't sound like a cat being castrated without anaesthetic.....
