I bought my granddaughter a Mahala pink ukulele two years ago when she turned 3. It is about $35 and can take a beating. She is 5 now and still has it. It can be tuned and you can play songs on it. She was too young to be interested in learning the correct way to play. But she loved it

I don't really now - I bought it for my 19 year old daughter who is in a ukulele club at college. Her first one was cheaply made and only $18 - - - she wanted a real wood one for Christmas and was very pleased.

I think it's probably a little more of a professional instrument than what you'd want to get for a three-year-old...unless they are a prodigy.

The best answer is "PERHAPS." It is a nice playing miniature guitar with good intonation and good sound (for its size). But the body might be too small to feel like he's playing a guitar. The body is the right size/scale for my 2-year old (although two is too young to learn how to play). A small body classical guitar could be another option for a six year old. But the look, sound, feel and quality of this tiny Gretsch is as good as one could wish for. So if your six year old likes the look of a ukelele, then this is the one for you.

I don't know anything about the type. For the price its OK. I bought it for my 14 year old and she likes it. I'm not a musician so I don't know how a 3 year old would take to it. It is small so I would assume it would be ok .

My son received this for his 3rd birthday and was perfect. He was a master the first day. My goddaughter is almost 2 and has a hard time but is getting. Would be good for a 2year old

I would say appropriate for ages 1&2 years old. It does come with a carrying case & mallet.

I would recommend Kala. It is high quality for the price and sounds great. It's an amazing ukulele for starters.

Yes, My 3 yr old daughter loves it! If they love music and love to dance they will enjoy this. It also has music for their age which is a plus.

My daughter is 3 years old and it is a good skill to simply thread the beads onto the string. She will string, strip, and restring time and time again. For my daughter who is 3 it is a great set.

Yes, my petite 10-year-old daughter never played a woodwind and has progressed well. She can reach all but a few keys. I first rented an older Jupiter model but realized I could save money by buying. I bought a demo model from Jim's and it was like new. I like the quality and that's the brand the music store rents, so it must have quality and durability.

I bought this for my 3 yr old grandson. I don't know the quality as an actual musical instrument.He enjoys it.

The bigger sections are hard for my 3 year old. She has no problem with smaller sections. I doubt an older child would have trouble.

Hello. The Dolphin has a injection molded body while the Kala 15s is wood which I think would provide a superior tone. Also, and this is very important, my Kayla came pre-strung with Aquila strings. I am fairly certain that the Dolphin comes with some cheapo strings. You should check that out.Hope this was a help.

My daughter has the three in one. It works really well for the under two age

Hi M. Stewart, I own a G9126 and even that it is a small beautiful guitar the neck is almost as wide as a regular size guitar. I think the space between frets and strings will be to big for a small hands kid. The Cordoba guilele and Yamaha gitalele will be more suitable for your kid (because of the thinner neck they have), they are both cheaper on price and quality but not that much on sound. The Yamaha comes in different colors.....you can also check smallguitars.com

I have the small size and it works just fine. As for the 7 year old, I would suggest easing into it and seeing if the interest is sincere, if so, then advance. You are wise starting with a practice pad. I started with a set of sticks. After first trying piano and guitar, I found that drums were my instrument.

I think it is geared more towards smaller kids but I think 6/7 year olds will still enjoy them if they like music at all. Symbals rarely get old, tamborines are always fun. With the low price on the set I think it would be worth the risk.

Hi If he is pre growth spurt The length is perfect. As for the guitar itself, they are pretty nice. Way Way better than what I started with. I think if you do a little research on the web, the guitar will play very well just by turning a screw or two, And the child will always treasure it. He will learn on it, then absolutely have to switch to a full size. Do not let him sell or trade the first guitar. It does become like your first woman, and he will go back to it at the oddest times!!!
