Just looking for a basic concert ukulele at a decent price. Thanks!
 
You can get one anywhere ... but if you are looking for a cheaper Uke ... and that is cool, if you are ... set up of is really important.

The Hawaii Music Supply will ship free if you are in the USA on purchases of $400 or more. They offer tremendous set up.

Here is their site, I started a search by size: Concert.

I have had a Lanikai LU-21c (about $90) for a while. I bought it at a local music shop. Probably an unopened box. I never thought much of it but I recently decided to bring down the action by sanding down the saddle and to put some nice Worth strings on it. It's much better now. I'll have a better opinion in a few days but right now I wish I'd saved the $250 (plus case) I spent on a midrange uke.
 
Quite a few of these being played in the seasons videos. If they came in soprano I would likely own one already.



Just for the record I have no connection with the reviewer or any of the websites linked or companies mentioned and as stated likely wont own one being I enjoy a soprano more than any other.

They come in many colorful designs and even one if you want happy balls!

The Eddy Finn Travel Concert at $125 is an amazing instrument which rivals or exceeds the sound from some of my more expensive concerts. It does not stand in the shadow of a Kala travel concert at about half of the cost.
 
as mentioned above, if you're a beginner, get one that is properly set-up. It makes all the difference in the world. Buy from any recommended seller

I have no affiliation or anything with this manifacturer, but I happen to like this concert ukulele. It cost around 70 USD, including shipping from China to Norway. (I say 40 USD in the video; my maths aren't much.)
Good luck!
 
Very handsome looking and sounding uke for that kind of money. It's under $200....I think my KPK solid acacia concert is an amazing value. Sings like a uke costing hundreds more. I have Aquila strings and an ebony nut and saddle...wouldn't consider changing it.
