I ordered 3 sets of tuners, 2 were unusable off the start due to cosmetic and fitting reasons. After contacting the supplier, another set was sent. Same problems. I haven' t even put strings on these tuners and already they are garbage. Don't waste your time.

These are advertised as "hand made."  And they sure are.  As in poor quality control, poor consistency, poor construction, poor sound.  They have all the benefits of a product made by some teenager in his basement.

Quality control is poor.  One of four shredded upon installation before even coming up to tune.  And, yes, I followed the "manufacturer's" instructions to the letter (use pliers to make a sharp 90 degree bend, then cut).  25% waste is not acceptable.

The sound is poor.  These have a tinny sound inconsistent with quality bass strings.  Alas, this is not consistent from string to string, most noticeable on the third string, but also evident on the second.  Not the rich tone of a true round wound, nor the thump of a flat.  As stated, the consistency is poor.  It would almost be better if all four strings had the same tone, because then we could just say they were poorly designed.  These are poorly manufactured ("hand made").

The feel is poor.  I disagree with those who say these need lubrication to handle slides properly.  These feel like mushy round wound strings, although sliding is no problem.  Still, it's hard to get the left hand feel necessary for decent playing.  Basically, they're cheap round wounds dipped in paint.  I haven't played them long enough to see whether the paint stays on or not.  Other reviewers suggest it just chips off after a few days.

These strings only have two things going for them.  First, they are billed as lasting upwards of double the life of an uncoated string.  Maybe so, but given how nasty they feel and sound, that's hardly a benefit.  Second, they look great, especially on my black JT Viola bass.  Shame we have to listen to them as well.  If you want cool looking strings you can hang on the wall, you'll love these.  If you want acceptable sounding bass strings, these are not the way to go.  So let's just look at them and not play them.

As soon as I got the uke I was so excited to play it. Obviously it took some time to stretch but when I finally got it there, i had a problem. Every single string had a horrible buzz on the first fret. Unplayably horrible. I emailed the company to see what could be done because I wanted this uke so much. A week later and absolutely no response.

Broken, garbage product. Awful, unresponsive company. I will NEVER be so stupid as to buy from this company again. Even now I wish the uke worked. But to doesn't and the company doesn't care of their products arrive BROKEN. So I'm returning it. Thank you for absolutely nothing, Kala.

Terrible. Strings touching frets, not playable. Just plain junk. Oh and they will not take it back even though it is defective. Bad Seller Bad Product.

I realize this was not an expensive guitar but I expected it to last more than a week.  I purchased this item as a starter guitar for my husband and he barely strummed the strings before it fell apart.  I purchased it about a month and a half before his birthday.  By the time he opened it on his birthday the return policy expired.  Now I know why the return policy is so short --- its garbage.  Save up a few more dollars and buy yourself something that is better quality.  Save yourself the frustration buy something else.

I've used Elixirs on and off for a while now. I decided to give these a shot. The G string on this set (not a fluke, or a guitar problem as I've used a different guitar each time) sucks. It has broken on me every single time. Don't waste your time with these strings. I really wish I could've just burned the money and saved me some time.

It hasn't even been 2 months and the Violin has never stayed in tune. When we took it in to our local Music store to get it repaired, they told us it wasn't even built correctly. Now there are more costly issues with it, then what it was purchased for. 1 Star because that's the minimum.

Strings were damaged, as was the box when I received it. It will not stay tuned, and sounds overall crappy as hell, in my opinion. I'd pass on this if i were you

Quite simply i have ordered two and neither has worked.
They cut out when they are not supposed to, and the fit between plug and guitar is poor.
Most decent leads have that kind of snap in, that feels secure. These don't.
1st one came and it didn't work, so i ordered another. That didn't work either.
A very poor product, i certainly won't be buying from them again.

This took 7 weeks to get to my house after it shipped. Even if that's not an issue, which I really didn't mind bc I understand it came from the other side of the world, the completely destroyed product I received was a huge problem. There are strings coming out of the entire thing, all 4 sides. Clumps of string , not just a random piece here and there. And to top it off, the zipper is broken and won't even open. I am not one to write negative reviews. I have never written one in fact. This products quality, or lack therof, has me so upset I even purchased and wasted my time and money on it. Save your money and or spend a few more bucks for something with better quality .

Overall build quality was very poor.  Mine did not come with Aquila strings, so it goes out of tune pretty much as you play it  The included tuner broke immediately after tuning 1 string.  Very unsatisfactory even for the low price.  Had to return it as not really usable even for beginner music student.

This is a terrible product.  Maybe I just got a lemon, but it is completely useless.  It typically doesn't respond at all to the instrument it's connected to.
 When it does pick up a note, it generally doesn't stay locked onto it long enough to tune the string.  I have a couple of Snark tuners for my guitars and a couple of clip-on ukelele tuners and even an electronic tuner I bought more than 30 years ago, and they all work fine, so I'm plenty familiar with the technology.  I see several Amazon reviews that look like others are having the same issues I've had.  I'm surprised Fender puts its name on a product that seems prone to failure.

Do not buy. It doesn't hole tune, the tuner is crap, and it's cheaply made! Definitely not worth the 40 dollars

This ukulele is crap. It is obviously very cheaply made, and the strings are plastic, so they get stretched out and only stay tuned for a few seconds. Also the tuning rods are hard to move so it makes it very difficult to tune in the first place.

Where to start, where to start...
First off, it was not made of "Solid Wood." It was made of a cheap plastic. Secondly, the tuning knobs didn't grip, meaning I would tighten the string, and when I'd let go the string would loosen again, making it untuneable. Thirdly, it doesn't even work. I tried holding the tuning knob tight and running the bow across the string to get an idea of the sound, and it would make no sound no matter how softly or hardly I pressed the bow on it.

In summary, this was a useless waste of money.

I bought what was intended to be a year supply of picks for a musical therapy program I started at the hospital I work at. These picks are practically useless for acoustic guitar. A pick might last me 25 minutes of playing before there is large gouges in the plastic from strumming. Absolutely the worst picks I have ever played with. I have not tried to use them with electric guitar I would assume they would fair some better but still have less life than others. I think its a shame fender put their name on these.

When I opened this up I immediately knew something was wrong. And I was right. It wouldn't stay tuned. Tried tuning it for 30 mins. If you want to get one for your kid that they can just play with, go ahead and get this one. Otherwise, don't waste your time. Great service just not a good product
