Our review
If I had to buy a ukulele right now, this is where I'd be putting my money. The aNueNue Hawaiian Dream Ukulele is hands-down incredible for its price. Quite often, walk in customers are pleasantly surprised when I tell them how much they will be paying for one of these. In fact, I'd argue this series of aNueNue ukulele competes with ukuleles several grand more expensive.
Sounds too good to be true? It's not. aNueNue absolutely nails the simple things. As a result, you get a premium uke at a cost a margin above an entry level price.
Tonally, its a 10/10. Well balanced, melodic, soothing. Everything I want when I hear a ukulele. Sometimes ukuleles can be a little too grating, too saccharine. That's not the case here. The solid top provides all the fullness and richness of sound I could ever need.
Comfort is another gold star. The fretboard is silky smooth, the strings are the softest fluorocarbons on the market. The matte finish on the neck is cool to the touch. The open hand glides easily up and down the fingerboard, trouble free. It's a pleasure to hold and play.
Now let's talk aesthetics. Again, no surprises, it's full marks. The classic shapely body of aNueNue, the black binding, the subtle intricacies of the Mahogany. What can I say? I'd buy one right now if I didn't already own a ukulele shop. Top of the range sound, feel, and looks, at an affordable price.
