In the interest of finding good cheap and cheerful Ukuleles I have been on a mission to buy one of two of the very cheapest and at £9 I bought a brand new Mahalo, brilliant for the money, good quality finish and as a beginner instrument sounded fine too. At £15 I bought a colourful makala, very good quality, lovely sound and I use it almost as much as my Pono. By far the worst Ukulele I have bought is the Vintage VUK15N, it's horrible, cheap, poory finsihed and sounds like a toy and worst of all cost me nearly £20, very expensive kindling. The Two Tix at around £25 is a great little Uke, lovely sound, really well finsihed and a mellow sound, the only down side to this is the fret board finish does wear after a lot of use. So top of my cheap and cheerful Ukulele table so far is the Makala and right at the bottom, not worth the disapointment is the terrible cheap and nasty Vintage VUK15N.
