Ortega RU5-TE
I have owned a total of 3 ukuleles. My first was a Soprano from Jack and Danny, the second was the Fender Mino-Aka Concert size and finally I purchased this Tenor Ortega RU5.
Out of these 3 Ukulele's the Ortega is my personal favorite.
I prefer the Tenor size to the soprano and concert because it looks more like a serious instrument where as the soprano sort of looks like a toy.
The detail on this product is beautiful, from the laser engraved pattern on the face of the ukulele to the subtle edging all around the outside, it looks fantastic.
It also sounds great, when plucking the strings there's a little bit of a more harsh "pluck" but I think that's down to the bigger thicker strings and I quickly got used to this style.
The tenor is definitely a little trickier to play when it comes to solos/spread out chords as you have to reach a little further on the larger fret board so if you're a beginner maybe start of with the smaller sized soprano.
Over all this product looks and sounds great and I would recommend it.

Ok
It is solid for the price. The big letdown is the narrow nut and not very comfortable neck

Quality Ukulele An Affordable Price
If you are looking for a quality ukulele at an affordable price, this is the one.
Unless you are banging on it hard, it will not go out of tune.
There is a nice bright tone from it and it has a lovely strumming voice.
The tuners are of good quality and rarely slip. 4/5
