As a set from the Amazon reseller Austin Bazaar: What more can one ask for? A fine sounding uke, built-in electronics and tuner! And, a protective case, not just a gigbag, at a price (with free shipping) less than many others charge for the ukulele alone!
I confess! If I could have but one uke, it would be a soprano. There's something about the fragility of its tone that haunts me. Anything larger, even a concert, seems to lose it and sound like...well...a guitar, to me, anyway. This one doesn't, at least not as much. It somehow captures a bit of it so that I still feel like I'm playing a UKULELE!
The tuner works great. I'm one of those people who keeps a tuner attached to every instrument, but they are either so large that they unbalance the instrument, are small but awkward to read (
Snark S-1 Son of Snark Guitar and Bass Tuner
), or don't stay on well (
D'Addario NS Micro Clip-On Tuner
) The KA-TE's tuner is just right. It's responsive, but not overly responsive, and easy to read. It took me a bit of getting used to in that an up arrow (triangle, really) means the string is flat so raise it and a down arrow means the string is sharp, so lower it. This is the opposite of what I'm accustomed to, but I find I've become used to it.
BTW, DO NOT TRIM THE ENDS OF THE STRINGS WHILE THE INSTRUMENT IS NEW! Aquila or not, these strings take days to settle in and will stretch to the point where you fins you have double windings (windings on windings) on the tuning post. This is a bit much (and can lead to tuning machine failure on a U Bass). So, let them stretch in for a few days and then unwind them, take in the slack, and rewind. Eventually, the strings will stabilize and it will be okay to trim them.
It may not be obvious how to take in the slack the first time you try it. The uke comes with each string going through the peg hole twice: once as usual, then a half-wrap around the post, and through again. My technique is to
* hold the string against the fretboard with my left hand and use a peg-winder to promptly unwind the string with my right hand, all the while doing my best to maintain as much tension on the string as possible with my left hand,
* use my right hand to push the excess through the peg hole,
* re-tighten the string against the post by pulling on the free end, and finally
* rewind string.

Don't actually know how to play but have tuned it - sounds swell! Might learn at some point but for now, I just carry it around and take it out at locally-sourced coffee houses or urban micro parks. As soon as the pollution-masked sunshine hits the delicious, gluten-free paint job, the hipsters are up on my organic jeans like IKEA shelves on a dorm wall.Worried about some tall glass of chilled kompucha calling your bluff? Just confidently strum your musical melon a few times for the the patchouli-plastered non-believers, take a deep Idol-audition inhale, and double over, au natural face clutched in your underworked hands, and bemoan one of two things: the hash-induced baffoonary taking place in an oval office OR the desperate plight of the dolphins.Because there's only one thing modern hipsters love more than a trending novelty instrument that announces gender neutrality and fits into a modern, minimalist lifestyle... Mutually-flaccid, #hashtagfriendly social justice bonding in public places with at least 10k check-ins.
