All of the instruments listed on this page are available from a range of reputable distributors, or you can buy used instruments from various online vendors. It’s an excellent way to experience the sound of your instrument before buying it new. If you’re unsure about buying a used ukulele and are considering buying a new instrument, I would recommend getting the instrument as refurbished in this scenario is better value than purchasing a new instrument.
For ukulele instrument owners with older acoustic instruments, their older instruments may not have the same sustain or tone, and the value of those instruments is diminished. A refurbished instrument may not offer the same sound quality as newer instruments, and may require replacement if you lose the original strings. If you plan to upgrade your instrument in the near future, be sure you look for a certified instrument repairer who is certified by the Ukulele Manufacturers Association UK.
