Awesome little instrument (especially in the price range)
As a regularly playing musician, when my kids started learning uke, I could not stand the cheap ones. Sound was flat, tuning was dropping, intonation non-existent on most.
Having read a few reviews on this one, I decided to give it a try. Very happy with the result.
Tuning is good, and it keeps well. Intonation is fine all the way up the neck. You get a bit more cutting tone with mahogany. (harsher is not the right word, but it's def stronger than most other woods)
Let me put it this way, it was good enough for us to come back and buy more :)

Just awesome.
I am music teacher and was required to buy a number of ukuleles for my lessons. The bulk of these newer ukes came from local stores as is school policy. I have four different brands in our collection ranging in price - $35-$55 each but I wanted a better product for my own use to teach with - even though this price was in some cases cheaper than the store bought.
Firstly, the delivery. I ordered on a Saturday afternoon and it arrived the following Tuesday! The ukes that I ordered from shops around where I teach took between 2 weeks and up to 8 weeks to deliver! It isn't hard to see why online shopping is favourable - and although I am a staunch supporter of physical music shops, it is becoming increasingly harder to justify the physical experience of shopping musical items.
The ukulele, for the price is simply stunning. It comes with a beautiful travel bag, which alone must be worth $30. Plus, plectrums, an instruction book and a clip-on tuner! Just amazing.
The ukulele itself is (compared to the ones I have purchased here) is a work of art. The frets don't need filing down, the wood finish is staggering - the grain looks like a mini Taylor guitar, the machine heads, perhaps best of all. The machine heads on the versions here are scratching, feel rusty and don't always hold. The ones on this Casha version feel as good and smooth as my Taylor acoustic.
The tone is miles away from the other ukes in our collections, fuller, brighter and the intonation seems to be in.
I have bought many things from Thomann over the years, but I think this is the most (pound for pound) impressive purchase I have ever made.

Great bundle offer
Great offer for the price. You can buy higher quality ukuleles for sure, but this one is very good for beginners. Sound and quality is ok. Comes together with bag and tuner, therefore no need to buy them seperately. Overall good offer.

Excellent for first ukelele up to medium advanced users
this is a good studio ukelele, with high resonance and warm tone. The sound is good, but as with all strings instruments, it depends a lot on the quality and state of them. I think it can be enhanced to excellent sound with new higher quality strings other than those that come with the instrument.
Good overall finishings.
Is a very balanced price/achievement. Of course, you can get more rounded instruments, with heavier woods and even higher resonances, but for that it would be a concert ukelele, doubling the price .

Great ukulele
Sound is warm and loud. It feels good in hands. It keeps tuning and it looks beautiful. It came with tuner, picks, bag and some book for learning - my wife went through it and it is really good for absolute beginners - it learns you gradually chord by chord, rhythm by rhythm..

Great beginners ukulele
I'm a novice and find this ukulele to have a lovely tone, it is easy to tune and is staying in tune. I really like how it looks and feels in my hands, the wood is lovely. I'm happy with it.
FYI the accompanying book in the bundle is in German

Solid choice
I gave this as a gift to my little sister, she played 6 hours straight the day after. The ukulele came with a tuner, a bag, a book for beginners and 3 picks. It looks good, sounds nice and is overall absolutely worth it for this price!
