4 okuthathu kwalokhu: wabuza ukuthi wayesebenzaphi utholi, wamane wathi efemini. you just clipped your first slide! What a pile of junk!If you're looking for a reasonable instrument that is actually playable, then don't buy one of these!The build standard and quality of the instrument is so bad that it is almost totally un-playable.I was expecting a much better quality instrument, given the Ashton name tag, but I was sorely disappointed.Basically, the fingerboard action is so high that the instrument is always out of tune if you play past the first 2 frets; play any more than 2 strings at once and the result is so dischordant it makes you shudder. Up at the body end of the fingerboard the strings are raised over 1cm, you have to press them so hard to meet the fret that the instrument is totally de-tuned!!!The overall finish isn't much better, the paint (blue on the one I purchased) is not lacquered and is certainly not smooth to the touch.Although the instrument is designed for nylon strings, the ones supplied are so cheap they might as well just be lengths of nylon rope.Overall I was totally disappointed with this instrument and would not recommend this model to anyone seriously intending to purchase and learn to play the ukulele.
