The Arcadia series are the best value ukuleles we have ever produced. They punch well above their weight when it comes to sound quality, comparing extremely well to the more expensive ukuleles. At Bondi HQ we often debate which of our ukuleles has the best overall sound. The Arcadia series is always part of those discussions, with them being the uke of choice for several of our staff members.
We don't like to talk ourselves up, but we believe we have absolutely nailed it with the Arcadia series when it comes to build quality, aesthetics and sound. There are no compromises at all, just high quality at an affordable price. This is a lifetime instrument, it is built to last and will be around longer than all of us, hopefully with it being passed from one generation to the next.

My daughter has had her eyes in this for so long. She plays guitar but wanted this too. She has played it everyday since getting it on her birthday... good sound, happy people ... no complaints
Love my little ukulele easy to play and enjoying learning to play my Holiday music
It took a little longer but thats the fault of my own country. I love my ukulele very much. It sounds awesome and i don't even want to put it down. I recommend this to anyone who wants to buy their first ukulele. The starter kit is a beautifull addition.
It was great all the way from ordering to starting to play. I have never played a Ukulele, although I play guitar. It is easy to learn, and it sounds great. It has a mellow sound. The strings are easy to press, and being a concert ukulele, the frets are far enough apart so that my fingers don't get cramped. The mahogany finish is attractive, and it has high quality machine heads. It's great value for money with the "extras" package included. There are a lot of resources on You-tube to help me along, and I'm having a lot of fun learning the chord shapes and strumming some simple tunes. Great support from Ukulelemate, as well.
Simply good because you can ask them if you have questions and they’ll be on the lookout for you to answer. The ukulele that I buy is beautiful and brings many accessories that are very helpful if you’re a beginner. It was the best decision I made when buying my ukulele and I’m enjoying and having fun learning the process.
Would highly recommend
Really a great deal for all the things included. Amazing quality. I loved it and I’ve been playing it every day since it came to me. Shipping was super fast too. Thank you Bondi for your amazing ukulele.
My Bondi Uke is a great product. Beautiful construction and good resonance. The tuner that comes with the package is handy.
I am so impressed with this company. This company has the best customer service ever. And being new to this, I have had questions and they have been there for help and support. The kit was great and love the sound of her. Glad I picked a concert size. The tone is much richer than I thought it would be. Everyday is so much fun learning how to play. Being in my 60’s I didn’t think I could do this but I’m so glad I picked these guys.( and gals). Thanks Bondi for all your help
Like you are probably doing right now, I looked into many brands of uke. Comparing the features and reviews led me to follow my original intuition and go with the Bondi. I'm completely satisfied and am still in some awe about how much value the starter pack, well, packs. I'm inspired to play everyday. The tuner, the strap, the case, even the chord stamp are part of everyday use, and wow, a surprise capo...Just dive in!
I absolutely love this ukulele!! It was delivered super quickly and I am incredibly stoked! The uke itself is beautiful and all the extras that come with it are extremely useful and helpful! Bondi have done an amazing job through both their products and their customer service! Thank you so much!
My 14yo grandson had been playing a 2 dollar yard sale small yukelele for two years and he plays very well,he saw this yukelele and told me when he got enough money saved up,he wanted to get him one like it,so the grandpa in me kicked in and I told him he didn't have to save his money because he could have that one. He plays it every day and plays other instruments as well and plays in live concerts with the music tutorials several years.

This is my first ukulele. The sound quality is so much better than I expected. The extras in the bundle were great and really useful. The ukulele itself is just beautiful. Can’t fault the service or the product.

My daughter is so happy with this gift. Everything she needs seems to be provided. A quality product from a friendly company (so far). Sheer Joy. Many useful tools.
Has been a lot of fun. Has absolutely everything a beginner player needs to get started. Highly recommend!
Wowee, I think I need to move households.... Christmas does come early in yours! Strike while the ukuleles hot I guess. Did your daughter receive it "lawfully" early or did she accidentally rip the present while restacking the presents under the tree... an old personal favourite of mine. Glad she loves it.

First of all, I'm really a beginner, not in making Music, but I've not played Ukulele or something similar before. I played flute a long time and I still play piano. My flutes are all made of wood, because I just don't like the sound of plastic flutes, That's why I was looking for a Wood Ukulele/ starter kit. And I don't regret my choice. Since the first day the uke arrived I'm in love. It's like a Baby. I couldn't imagine a better way to spend my money. The accessories are all super cool and useful and the Quality is very good. The Company is also super Kind. If you're looking for an uku I can really recommend it!!!
