If you are looking to get a pineapple ukulele as your first uke, the Hohner Lanikai LU-21P is a great place to start. Lanikai’s entry level ukuleles are great value for money and the first ukulele of choice for the well informed.

The price is perfectly pitched for a beginner. They are cheap but not so cheap that they will inevitably be a disappointment. They are well made and set up so that you can play them straight out of the box. It’s always a nightmare for a beginner if their first uke has construction problems as they can’t tell what is down to their technique and what is down to problems with the ukulele. So it’s worth investing that little bit more in a good quality uke.
