These smaller dimensions and unique designs proved to be an inspiration for musicians throughout the country, launching a new trend of cigar box instruments! Kala’s homage to this innovative era of grassroots luthiers, our new Cigar Box Ukulele collection bring this old-school bluesy practice to the world of ukulele with two original designs: Art Deco and Victorian.

I'm really surprised at the quality of this uke for $90. It's got considerably more volume than the average concert size ukulele and it even has more volume than my banjolele. Great action & string spacing, straight neck and good intonation. My only complaint would be that the fret marker is on the 9th fret instead of the 10th but honestly i can overlook that. I saw someone mention in another review that they had trouble holding it, but I don't have that issue and thought it was actually pretty comfortable.

I bought this for my daughter for her birthday. She plays and collects ukuleles. Upon opening, she immediately turned it and played it. It has a nice rich sound. I wasn’t expecting that for the price. I would recommend!

This ukulele I own ...Ibought it from the Uke Republic store. It has a great sound and good resonance...I really like the Victorian design...but and this is big one...this is very uncomfortable to use...the sharp edges just dig into my body and it hurts...it is squarish and I can't really position it without those edges hurting me when I sit and play...I did have an extrapeg added so I can use a strap when st a nding...it is a little better this way but not by much...plus the saddle is rough and it scratches my forearm...I may be able to take a fine grit sandpaper to it...I am on Plavix and baby aspirin for health issues and using this cigar box ukulele causes bruising on my body...I guess I will just enjoy this nice looking uke as a decorative piece hanging on my wall
