The Inspiration
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 is 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.

He plays it every day and plays other instruments as well and plays in live concerts with the music tutorials several years.

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. Marcus Bondi Ukuleles For Customer Deligh
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!!!

I cant believe I haven't wrote a review before now. This is a GREAT instrument!!! It was my first uke. I've since progressed to another more intermediate uke that was given to be as a gift, but still come back to my Bondi regularly. It had a great sound and stays in tune without fail. And, this company has amazing customer service! I had a FB messenger conversation with one of the folks from Bondi while they were at the airport o resolve an issue. It felt like they genuinely wanted me to be happy with my purchase. And, boy, did they deliver!!! If you were on the fence about this uke, JUST GET IT!!! You wont be disappointed!!!

My daughter absolutely loved this for her Christmas present. Great quality & great kit!

My daughter just received it, I'm not a connoisseur of ukuleles but my daughter sure has invested time looking into them. She is absolutely in love with it. There was a note inside that Marcus sent telling us he wanted to make it special and added a stand for her. It made a world of difference. When I went to buy it I was concerned as it's her first one and I did not want to spend that much money on her first ukulele. I read every review and noticed there was a response to each and every comment. I'm big on customer service and it won me over. The added note from Marcus and the special gift included made it to a five star rating even if I know nothing about ukuleles. My daughter has a huge smile and the product is very "solid". Came with everything they stated. It's a beautiful crafted instrument I must say. If your searching and are like me comparing 50 to this one due to price, you certainly will not be disappointed. Thanks for taking the time to read this review... It's from a cheap, loving mom that made a good decision and went with her gut ?

.With so many choices available it might be difficult for a first time Ukulele buyer/player to make a good choice. However, with the purchase of this kit, you can breath easy knowing you will have everything a beginner would possibly need to get started quickly. For an absolute beginner such as myself, the instrument sounds very peaceful even when simply strumming the C, G, and F chords. The instrument further seems to hold the tuning quite well, it will need adjustments, but I have experienced worse in my search for my first ukulele. Overall it’s a solid instrument , NOT A TOY. OF NOTE: The bondi team is responsive to any and all issues you have and stayed in contact with me through the shipping and first week or so of my ownership. I never sent any messages to them, they took all initiative to ensure complete customer satisfaction. They want you as a customer for life, and work hard to prove it. Should I need another kit, I would not hesitate to purchase with them again

The Ukelele starter kit was very helpful for someone with no Ukulele background like me. The videos were great and the free Skype lesson with Jeff really helped me get started. He is an experienced teacher, patient to start with the basics, adapts to the level of the student and very friendly. I would recommend this Ukulele starter kit for anyone wanting to learn to play.
