Mitchell mu40c concert ukulele natural review

  • #1

On my channel & site, I'll review any ukulele, and many times, the budget models are what I can afford, as there is very little income for the work (not complaining, just a fact).

I saw this Mitchell MU40C on eBay for $29, and bought it.

I hold a lot of preconceived notions about Mitchell, and it is good to actually hold one in my hands to play.

This is one of the least attractive ukuleles that I have played, and it was in need of a basic set-up, but the sound was really nice...and the laminate, while clearly low grade, was thin and the instrument sounded nice.

So if anyone is looking for a "paint the ukulele" project, I'm not sure you will find a better candidate.

At $79, there are better options. At $55 (it was $59 yesterday) it isn't a bad buy. At $29...you might be able to ignore the appearance and then solve the setup issues.

I had one of those once, it was just sad... big gap bw neck and body. I had it send to my destination while traveling and just left it there. It was $30 and I couldn't ignore those issues.
