Thumbs down Anybody know about ukuleles?

I bought a cheap tms ukulele on ebay for like $20 bucks and can't seem to get this ****** to tune? Is it a P.O.S since I only paid $20 bucks for it? ....I play the vihuela and it's nothing like it...

Are these ukuleles pieces of ****?

Nope...sounds like a piece of ****...it sounds nothing like the ones I hear online. Maybe they sent it to me, with the wrong strings or something?

How much did it run ya? I think the one I got off ebay is a P.O.S. I'm not sure what the going rate for a nice good one is as I don't have any experience with this instrument! My vihuela, which my grandfather made for me in Mexico, would run something close to $600-900 bucks around these parts..

I've had trouble with cheapo string instruments. They never seem to be able to take a tune much less hold the tune. No cheap musical instruments, they're never worth it.

Cop a ukatude attitude.
