UProfesa Dr. U-Ahmet Akçay uqhubeke wathi: "Iziguli ze-asthma akufanele ziyeke ukufafaza izidakamizwa eziqukethe i-cortisone ngalesi sikhathi, labo abaye bathimula futhi abakhwehlela ngenxa yokulimala komzimba kufanele basebenzise ama-antihistamines futhi basuse lezi zimpawu. Imvamisa [Okuningi ...] First, let me make clear that I bought this product from eBay (New), so anything below does not apply to Amazon or any other company affiliated with Amazon.This is purely a review of the Ashton Ukulele itself.I don't play the Ukulele, I'm not an expert; this was to be an introductory instrument on which to learn and all being well, buy a better quality one. I wasn't expecting miracles and in fairness it does make a sound.Upon tuning it to standard for the first time and giving it a test strum the bridge pulled away from the body! It's held on with screws so it's still attached, but hearing an almighty crack and seeing the bottom of the bridge pulling away from the paint the first time you strum does not fill a novice with confidence!My Ashton Ukulele struggles to hold its tune, meaning that I'm constantly having to stop and re-tune it. This is further exacerbated by the distance the strings are from the fret board.Whilst I'm sure that experienced musicians, all callused and semi-arthritic from years of playing will have the finger strength to apply the necessary pressure to the strings but my novice fingers can't.Having looked at friends ukuleles the strings are normally around 1.5 - 2mm above the fret markers. The Ashton Ukuleles are about 4 - 5mm. Whilst this doesn't sound a lot it means that to play notes on the1st and 2nd frets (apparently most chords stem from here!) requires a strength that a vice would find admirable.This larger than normal pressure/increased distance of travel on the strings is one of the main reasons the ukulele wont stay in tune as practice is pulling them out of tune very very quickly.There are no fret markings on this ukulele.Read more ›
