The Uma UK-20SC is a bit of a game changer given the tremendous value for an all solid ukulele at this modest price. It is relatively unadorned with decoration, although there's a well executed abalone soundhole rosette. The mahogany isn't richly patterned, but I quite like the fairly light stain and it looks nice under the gloss finish.

Although the tone is interesting and complex, it isn't characteristically 'mahogany' in its character. Perhaps as a result of the tightening of the tonewood by the gloss finish, the sound is quite bright, with plenty of volume and great projection. It's not lacking in depth but is definitely clearer and more crisp than I expected. I like its lively tone, it just wasn't quite what I expected.

There are clear fluorocarbon strings fitted, with a slotted headstock and smooth-turning chrome geared tuners. The rosewood neck is 35mm at the nut, which is unchallenging - given its a very average width.

The Uma UK-20SC is also supplied with an excellent, grey padded gig bag - adding even more value to an incredibly well priced package. If you’ve wanted an all solid concert ukulele but have been put off by the price, this could well be the model for you.
