I've never played before, when you buy one do you have to glue the rubber on, or buy something extra or is it good to go out of box?

This one is good to go out of the box, Other High End Paddles are sold as a 'blade' and you have to purchase rubbers and adhesive for them.
1262354
no, comes just like in the picture. just unbox the paddle and you're good to go.

It depends your skills and how experienced you are. If you are going to start or you are beginner level this paddle and stiga apex and titan paddles will fit very well. If you are above intermediate level, you better look for killerspin paddles. You do not need to glue anything. When you get couple nationwide rankings above 20.000 you can go for custom paddles. Good luck. Do not forget to get some double fish 3 star yellow balls, they are the best.

In my experience, they do not play at all. My first pair lasted under a day, the replacements faired a little better once I managed to pair them (an every use event), but the second set lasted maybe three months. They have been tossed in the trash after trying to use them a second summer. But yes, once I did manage to get them to work, they sounded good. We paid a lot of money for a lot of headache, and less than 20 hours of total play, if you choose to purchase these, I wouldn't expect too much out of them.

I'm not an advanced guitar player- intermediate at best FYI. It comes just with an Allen wrench and some paperwork. It's fun to play, heavy for it's size. It was recommended to me by my good friend who is an advanced guitar paler to buy for my son, who's just learning. Only problem is that two of the stings are closer to each other than the rest, no a huge difference but noticeable. Plays very well.

It sounds fine for practice, learning, and general playing. I restrung mine with better strings and it made a big difference. After a year and a half I still say for the money you can't go wrong.

Yes, it comes with everything you to get started playing right out of the box. Very satisfied.

You don't until you actually have it in hand. You have to start playing it. If it's fake it will play for a while and then just stop.

I've had the paddle for about 4 months and the rubber and foam have started to separate. All paddles need to have the rubber replaced periodically so this isn't a big deal. Shouldn't happen after a month but just go to a table tennis store and buy some glue. If the rubber is still in good shape just re-glue it and you should be fine.

The description says it's easy enough - but you need to be cautious about discs that store game information back to the disc instead of the gaming system. Here is some other information --> When repairing GameCube games or any other mini CD's, you need to purchase a smaller plate. You also need a different black pad with the blue foam in the middle for sanding. You also need shorter white pads for buffing. (Note: Please do not use the black pad and the buffing pad that came with original machine, otherwise the pads will get ruined.) <-- However I would drop an email to their support just to make absolutely certain there are no issues.

Mine came ready to play right out of the box. That doesn't mean yours will though. Because things happen during transit that can't be controlled. But I've read somewhere that the guitars get setup by the guys in the US before they're sent to customers.

If you have not yet purchased this player, I advise against making the purchase. Mine broke literally a minute after I started playing it for the first time. It's cheap enough that I just gave up rather than go through the hassle of demanding a refund, but I guess it's cheap for a reason.

I agree with Kent. With some practice, you'll be fine. I've owned a few of these over the years and these are as good as they get. Have fun!

Not really it's all practice quality material need to be careful it's very easy to break and needs to be tuned a lot.m this is a product only to see if you even are interested in playing. I can say the case was nice.

Mine came with it installed but I decided to remove it for I think it made a beautiful instrument look kind of cheap. If you really wish to install it I bet some cheap double sided scotch tape would do the trick. It is a great ukulele in both looks and play. Hope you enjoy it. Don't forget to check out Ukulele Underground which is a great website where there are many threads on these instruments.

I took the banjo to the local music store, bought the bridge and had them install it. I understand that it's relatively simple after you have been playing awhile, but I am completely new at this. Placement of the bridge affects tone and tuning. It only cost $12.00 total and well worth it.

Yes you can. Its not hard. I haven't played it much without it but it easily comes off. Just need a pair of small pliers.

I am an adult beginner and can only tell you that with the instruction sheet included, I was able to set up the bridge, get it tuned to my piano, and rosin the bow so it makes sound. There is a solution given if the pegs tend to loosen causing the strings to go out of tune but all new strings tend to stretch at first so I'm confident that will not be a problem. I'm happy with my bargain purchase.
