Why it works
The ukulele is the kindest string instrument to start on: four nylon strings that do not hurt the fingers and a neck that a 7-year-old hand can get round. With three chords you can already accompany a song, and that keeps the enthusiasm going.
Our verdict
A first real instrument for the price of a toy. If the child receiving it prefers keys, look at the Yamaha keyboard.
They will like it if
- they sing and want to accompany themselves
- they have asked for a guitar and are still small
- they learn from videos
Bear in mind
- it goes out of tune a lot in the first few weeks until the strings settle
- it needs a tuner or a phone app
- it is a beginner instrument, not a conservatoire one
What's in the box
- 21-inch soprano
- 4 nylon strings
- Gig bag and chord book
- Geared tuning pegs
- Can be used alone
