That has totally surprised me too. That was why I made the point in the video. Usually when i trash a ukulele, you get people saying 'yeah, but I have one and it's ok' - which I totally get (I can only review what is in front of me).
Collating comments on here, YouTube, Facebook and some other social media channels on which it was shared. I would say the comments are in the several hundred and I had two saying they had one that was ok.
That's pretty startling... unprecedented for one of my reviews in fact.
EDIT
And just to take that a bit further - one of the most common complaints from people was that they were getting nowhere when they complained to the brand. Either being ignored, their comments deleted or just getting a lame response. And that is what I think I find even sadder here. The ukulele 'could' be turned into something reasonable with not a lot of effort. Just some QC to make sure they go out of the door ok. Sure, it's unremarkable sounding, but it does sound like you'd expect a steel strung electric with a single coil to sound. If it played accurately, it could be a lot of fun. Why the brand are not interested in getting it right is absolutely beyond me. Bad QC is one thing, but that is easily rectified. Bad QC and ignoring people telling it's bad is quite another.
