I love having instruments around the house to encourage my kids to explore the world of music. This ukulele is the perfect size for beginner musicians and if they learn three or four basic chords, they will be able to start playing some tunes! Just a heads up—like any new string instrument, it may take some time for the ukulele to stay in tune as the strings settle in!
