Black Friday is just around the corner. Does anyone know of any upcoming deals? Do any uke sellers ever offer discounts on days like black Friday?
Black Friday deals?
- Thread starter mikelz777
- Start date
Sweetwater has already started early Black Friday.
Maybe not the place to buy a ukulele, but if you want a case/a tuner/a vibrating metronome wristwatch/etc…

Big box stores/sites likely will- sweetwater, guitar center, musicians friend, zzounds, etc. Based on past years/threads some makers/stores might put selected models on sale and/or reduce some by 10% or so, but I wouldn't expect typical black Friday deals from our favorite uke shops.

I sorta laugh about discounts on ukulele sites, most online sellers i visit have perpetually “slashed” discount prices for everything, as if they’ve been sitting there for years. I know it’s a ploy, based on the manufactures retail price but it still cracks me up and has become it’s own ukulele trope. So I wonder if the codes align to the seller’s advertised slashed price or off the MSRP (basically the same deal you’d normally get). Guess I’ll investigate, I’m a sucker.

You don’t have to worry about that with the OP…they own a number of excellent ukuleles already!

Rich is a friend, and he is right…for his playing and what he wants to do, his ukuleles work just fine and he really doesn’t want or need “top dollar” ukuleles. And that’s okay because I own enough of those “top dollar” ukes for the both of us!
And for a lot of players (kids and adults) there are a lot of sub $80 ukulele kits that would be all the ukulele they need for their lives. That isn’t me, but as a teacher, I get it.
Incidentally, one of my best finds of all the reviews I’ve done is still the Aiersi pineapple soprano. The value isn’t what it was with inflation and shipping—but what an amazing ukulele it is for an under $35 at one point!

I'm a teacher, so I will be getting one week off, in November and December, which is almost 25% off!
Can you post a link to that Aires pineapple soprano ?
Do you have any experience with the Aiersi Koa Pili Koko Pinapple Ukulele ?
