The ukulele often seems like a “cute” instrument. It’s small, it’s simple, and it’s easy to learn, relative to others. In other words, it’s the perfect instrument for a dabbler or someone who’s always been curious about learning to play music but too intimidated to take guitar lessons or learn the cello.

And this is the perfect version of that perfect instrument: it’s high-quality and yet will cost you only about 20 bucks. So, if you buy it and your musical aspirations don’t pan out, at least you didn’t break the bank. On the other hand, if you get super into playing, awesome! You got a great deal on something you love!

Now, if you get really really good, you can move on to a different, more advanced ukulele.

Something like:

The two-kulele - Designed in consultation with Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen, the two-kulele features not one but two necks. That way, you can strum on one set of strings and then blow your audience’s collective mind by moving your hand down to the other set to… uhh… strum on that one.

The cuke-ulele - Made of fused-together cucumbers, some say the cuke-ulele’s sound is a bit watered down when compared to the traditional uke. Others argue that it’s a refreshing, crisp new entry into the field of 4-string musical instruments.

The true-kulele - A rare, sought-after ukulele, though not due to its sound. Instead, players seek it out because whatever one sings while strumming it comes true. Of course, this can get risky, especially while tuning. Most owners of a true-kulele spend thousands of dollars each year on canine flea treatments.

The nuke-ulele - It looks just like a normal ukulele, but a mysterious quirk of its construction makes it so that each strum sounds out at roughly 10,000 times the decibel level of a standard ukulele, shattering windows and crumbling most foundations within a hundred miles. Which is what we call rock and roll, baby!

So there you go. Some next-level ukes for you to consider. But, of course, first things first: buy this one and learn to play it.
