The ukulele is the perfect first instrument for a child.  It is easy to learn , right sized for small hands, and easy to carry around . This instrument is not a toy that falls apart and won't stay tuned. It is a real small scale instrument for your child. 

Amahi ukuleles are  well made by a family owned business. They are made of panted wood with nylon strings and come with a carrying bag.
