Kona Ukulele... shipping to Hawaii not included. LOL!

Quite possibly the greatest woot offering ever. It's not just a ukulele. No. It's a ukulele for dummies.

anyone else have the rest of the cards/letters/whatever?

Sure, maybe not "for dummies", but pretty close to the same thing.

Woot! You are failing me left and right lately. :-(

Tip Toe, through the woot crap

You're kidding. Ukulele's are normally priced at that price at any music store!

Trading card time.

If you say so. No f'in clue here. All I know is it's a dummy's ukulele.

I didn't even know there were concert ukuleles...

Im feeling like a gullible survivor for buying so much stuff from WOOT, without verifying that everything was a hot smoking deal, or even a fair deal... because when I did take the time to check around, the WOOT deals were mediocre more than half the time, and often simply not deals at all...

This truly is dissappointing and it seems, WAY over-exposed... A business model wallowing in a reputation based primarily on it's past performance but quickly eroding it reputation by thrusting a bunch of crappy deals on naive buyers like myself. It took me some time and purchasing a number of crappy deals to start to see through piles of ration, bad customer service, incomplete or simply sloppy and wrong product information and useless, insipid and boring product write-ups. I have appreciated some of the deals and definitely the access to feedback from other customers. Too bad there isn't more restraint with respect to selection of product and quality of staff write-ups though because it casts a negative light, for me anyway , and suspicion of all WOOT deals. Shame.

I wonder if they'll call this a Quality Post. LOL.

Does anyone see a model number for this uke? My daughter wants one, but it's hard to tell if this is one of the models that you can find for $40 or what? C'mon woot, at least give us the details in the specs. It doesn't even specify soprano, concert or tenor. I'm guessing soprano, but who knows?

It's a pretty standard price for this quality of Uke. It's a little on the high side unless it has a starter pack. (gig bag and tuners, replacement strings)

There are better deals for starter ukes out there.

It's definitely soprano. Ukes come in four sizes, based on the measurement of the neck. Soprano, Concert, Tenor and Baritone.

I wholeheartedly agree. Don't be surprised if your comment gets vaporised.

I agree with that comment. I expect it to get deleted.

It's probably on par with an entry Lanikai. I saw one of these at guitar center last year. It's a decent deal.

And that's why this one (at $88) is for dummies.
