Hola! HM-21BU

Understandably, only a few people will be willing to budget as much as $200 for a ukulele; nevertheless, most of us would never want to settle for a “cheap” Uke, in terms of quality. Hence, while we are considering the price, we must look at the quality of products and their performance. Also, some people often focus on the bundles that accompanies a Ukulele – Don’t be surprised to see a product having as much as five to ten accessories.

However, the truth is that you will only use about three to four of these accessories eventually. Instead, what should be your priority is getting a rewarding Ukulele that offers a balance between price and quality. Fortunately, some available products provide such a balance; one of them is the Hola! Music HM-21BU Soprano Ukulele Bundle.

Truly, this Uke does not belong to the high-end quality instrument; however, among the entry-level category, it has proved to be a fantastic product with excellent construction and quality sound delivery. Read further to learn more about this amazing instrument.


 

A Brief Description

 
Designed with a blend of maple, rosewood, and walnut, the Music HM-21BU Soprano Ukulele offers an appealing outlook. That asides, it can be found in ten different colours – you are most likely to find a product that catches your fancy. The HM-21BU Soprano Ukulele measures 21 inches; hence, it is easy to carry around and portable to play. Maple is used for the construction of its back, side, and top, while walnut is applied to form the bridge and the fingerboard.

This ukulele is designed with white nylon strings and silver geared turners.

On top of the fingerboards, there are fret position marks on the 5th, 7th, and 10th frets from 12 silver nickel frets. The white nylon strings enable the instrument to release more “pop” compared to the conventional lines. Also, the twelve silver nickel frets and silver gear tuners raise the modern design and outlook of the ukulele.

While the tuning is average, it’s definitely handy enough considering the price of the Uke. Additionally, the HM-21BU Soprano Ukulele is designed to provide pitch-perfect Hawaiian harmonies, not to mention its fluid and consistent sounds – it is one of the best ukuleles which you will surely love to have!

Also, you will find three picks of different colours and widths in a tiny bag. That’s not all; there is an Aztec themed strap that you can clip to the black clamp, then attach to the waist of the Uke and the soundhole. Afterwards, you can place the loop around your neck for easier carriage.
