The Perfect First Ukulele!

Great ukulele, great price! LU Series ukes are Lanikai's most popular and most affordable. They're the perfect first ukulele for any acoustic instrument lover. Built well to both play and sound great, the LU-11 is a soprano ukulele. Its top, back, sides, and fretboard are all comprised of Nato wood, which comes from Mora trees. The tonewood is known for its attractive light brown color and warm-sounding, mahogany-like tone.

Lanikai's most popular and affordable ukulele series, LU ukuleles are ideal for expanding your tonal palette. If you're a recording guitarist, try layering a uke track or two on top of your acoustic guitars for a truly tasty and interesting sonic color. If you're just starting out on your musical journey, LU series ukes are perfect for beginners with smaller hands. If you're looking for your first soprano ukulele, look no more! The Lanikai LU-11 is a great choice.

If you want to learn how to play the uke and you got $50 to spend. Jump on this one. It stays in tune and keeps on a rockin. Thanks TJ for all the help you give me. This was for my guitar student Sam.... read more [+] He loves it. close [-]

My first uke, though I do play guitar. Got it, tuned it up, and good to go. No problems at all. Just what the dr. ordered. The dif between this and the LU-21 per my Sweetwater rep and the Lanikai peop... read more [+]le is basically cosmetic and the price. Same sound, in case you are wondering, because none of the descriptions of the LU-11 & LU-21 explain this. close [-]

Well worth it

I have never owned a uke before this one, so I can't say much about the materials used in construction as compared to something else, but it does feel like quality and plays very well. I've been a gui... read more [+]tarist for around 15 years or so, and this was easy to pick up and very fun. It will take a bit of time to get the strings adjusted to stay in tune. I just keep a Snark tuner on the headstock and tune it up everytime I pick it up, no big deal. I see no problems at all with this uke besides having to tune it up often, but that is common with ukes , from what I've seen and read,. I think this one is well worth the price and fun and easy to carry around. close [-]

Best customer service Ive ever encountered. My guitar arrived ahead of the date it was supposed to, in flawless condition. Played well right out of the box. I will be buying all of my gear from you, from here on out. You made me feel like I was ordering a custom guitar, just for me. I was treated like a valuable customer.
