My soprano ukuleles
	Kiwaya KTS-4	PROS Beautifully made in Japan A very light mahogany body Has a wonderful rich sound Very loud Easy to play Excellent case CONS A bit expensive   I use Worth brown strings.Flawless workmanship. My favourite soprano ukulele.
	Burswood Classic	PROS Very cheap to buy Geared tuners CONS Bright red colour Badly made All laminate body Can't be tuned Horrible sound Unplayable I bought this from a bargain store for about £6. This particular one was not worth it.
	Bruko no.6	PROS Sturdily built Solid woods Elegant design Well put together Easy to play Low price CONS Saddle not adjustable A slightly brittle sound Very reasonably priced for a European made solid wood instrument (even with a weak pound).
	Ohana SK-50WG	PROS Smooth, mellow sound Looks great Good volume Lovely figured willow CONS Back not book-matched Slight intonation problems This is a very good-looking, interesting ukulele with a great velvety tone. Some might not like the bridge (I do).
