I have the Stagg US20-Uke really given more than one chance, but after seeing it with two sets of good strings (only Martin, then D'Addario) have tried, they will now be scrapped and I will bequeath my daughter as a toy when she is old enough. The factory-reared string should replace the first, because they are unstimmbar and awful sound from her. But even with good strings, the joy will be clouded. When playing chords most sounds wrong, owing to the fact that the uke is not processed oktavrein. You can see the open strings yet so accurately agree, once you start to grasp, even if it is still so precise, the chords sound messy and wrong. This may one or another novice who just try and not spend a lot of money does not want to interfere, but it can quickly spoil the fun one even if everything you tried crooked sounds. At the next Uke I'll spend more money, that's for sure, because this was a waste of money.
