The PICKAPICK concert ukulele has a very interesting design and it looks really modern which is a breath of fresh air and might become very popular with your kids. The bright colors with interesting design with the soundhole on the side, this ukulele is experimental and futuristic in terms of its design.
PICKAPICK might not be a very popular ukulele manufacturer but I have to give them credit where credit is due. This ukulele does not sound out of the world, but its new design is fascinating enough for me also to try out this instrument.
Let’s delve deeper into the specs of this ukulele and see what it has really got.
Body & Build
The body of this ukulele is built using mahogany with a solid spruce top. These two kinds of wood add a wide variety to the sound of this ukulele which gives it a signature sound as well that is comparable with some of the models from recognized ukulele manufacturers in the same price range.
The side soundhole is a unique feature of this ukulele that allows you to hear yourself play better and help you especially when you are playing your ukulele in public.
The build of this uke is quite good. The construction is sturdy and the top and body woods are both quite strong making this a ukulele that can survive good usage for a couple of years at least.
One of the best features of this ukulele is that it comes with a hard case like gig bag which will help you extend the lifespan of your instrument if you keep it inside the bag.
Sound, Tone, & Playability
The body and build are quite nice the problem occurs in terms of the tone of this instrument as it’s not really satisfactory at least to me in the end.
An instrument that has some new design and shape I expected would sound a bit better and will have a bit more body or character to the sound.
But instead, it sounded quite generic something that sounded like almost all the other ukuleles available in the market. In terms of playability, the playability is really good because the frets have hemispherical ends. It also has an overall low action which makes it very friendly for kids.
Pros
- Modern body shape
- Soundhole on the side
- Bright colors
- Good build quality
Cons
- Generic sound
