What’s the best beginner ukulele under £60?

Published · Last updated

Answered by Roadie

The Kala Ukadelic Soprano Ukulele Dragon Fruit at £42 is my pick for a beginner wanting a soprano uke under £60. The Mahalo Java at £40 is the lowest-priced option here, while the £53 Flight TUS-65 is worth considering for travel.

I’d start with the Kala Ukadelic Soprano Ukulele Dragon Fruit. At the supplied best new price of £42, it fits comfortably within your budget, though the information available doesn’t establish that it sounds or plays better than the alternatives.

The Mahalo Java Ukulele Mahogany Finish is £40, making it the cheapest option in this selection. If travel is your priority, the Flight TUS-65 Travel Soprano Ukulele Copper is another candidate at £53.

Before buying, check how comfortable the neck feels and whether the strings are easy to press down. For a first uke, comfortable playing and reliable tuning matter more than the finish; try one in person if you can.
