I <3 This Uke!!
By RGallant
I bought "Molly", my Mitchell MU-70 last December as an upgrade from my beginner ukulele at my local music and arts store. I actually paid LESS for this uke than my (much cheaper made, worse sounding MOODY) other ukulele. The way this one feels in your hands is so much more natural than the ones made from what seems like particle board. The sound quality is beautiful and although sometimes with new strings it can be a bit fussy it IS WORTH IT. Any song I play on "Molly" sounds great, happy or sad.And I know this might sound kinda silly, but the headstock on this Uke is so cool! :) For the money you are paying this uke is a deal but I'd suggest you try ANY instrument out in person before buying it for less online (just to be sure).Happy picking! :)

By J. Victor
I picked this concert sized ukulele up in November after trying it a few times at my nearby music store as a bit of an upgrade from my cheap beginner Mahalo and I never looked back. The MU70 was perfect for me both in my price range and is just gorgeous in sound and finish. The abalone and mother of pearl touches are much appreciated as well to the overall aesthetic to the piece.There is only one slight comment to make note of, the glossy finish on the uke is a mix bag depending on your absolute preferences. On the one hand, the shiny surface really makes it look lovely but on the flip side it only very slightly tones the sound "boom" down a notch so it's not going to resonate as loudly as many non-laminated ukes do of equal or higher caliber without a little more effort in plucking the strings. This doesn't mean that you're going to get an incredibly noticeable muffled sound but if you compare it side by side to more expensive non-laminated ukes then more experience uke players may notice this but for a beginner or novice at this price, this is hardly going to deter you. I only noticed the sound difference when I played side by side with a Lanikai uke model 3x the price of this piece and I'd still pick the MU70 over the more expensive model any day for how minute the difference is. I would say depending on how you receive this piece, I heavily suggest swapping out the strings for a set of Aquila or Martins at your preference if it hasn't already been done so by your vendor as this is a modest expense for a big payoff down the road. The original strings are still playable but why not put your uke's best foot forward?As an added bonus, it is worth noting and maybe it's just been my luck but this particular ukulele had a significantly shorter "break in" time period of getting the strings to stay in tune than my other ukuleles so new players may find breaking in this model less frustrating for their first uke. All ukes will need a little breaking in to get the string tuning to stay put but this baby hasn't given me trouble after the first 2 weeks with only minute tuning once in a blue moon.

great starter
By jonah
after purchasing a toy ukulele just for fun i decided i wanted to seriously learn how to play the ukulele. the first uke i got was a concert size and the strings were pretty cheap as was the whole instrument really but it was fun to toy around with. i got this for $100 at my local music and arts store and so far ive been playing it everyday. the stock strings sounded a bit stringy so i had them replaced with martins which helped the intonation and gave my uke a warmer mellower sound without sacrificing any volume. its a beautiful little instrument and i would recommend this to any ukulele player
