Ashbury Ukulele
RatingsAshbury are a UK firm who sell a wide range of instruments including a range of ukuleles. Their ukuleles are fairly inexpensive (but not the very cheapest) and very similar to other ukuleles out there (such as Oscar Schmidt). The range includes a resonator ukulele very similar to the Johnson resonator.
I have an Ashbury Koa Concert ukulele and it's my favourite day to day ukulele and I play it far more than my other ukuleles. It's very easy to play, the action is low and the fretboard smooth. It was my first 'proper' ukulele and I don't think I could have made a better choice for a starter uke.
It should be pointed out that the koa wood is just a laminate - it's not solid koa wood - and you wouldn't expect it to be at this price.

Hi I just wanted to say that I went to a ukulele jam a few weeks ago and a guy there was playing a Ashbury AU-60 Concert Ukulele made out of oak (laminate i imagine). I must say that this ukulele had such a nice sound to it I was quite blown away. not quite but even gave good sound this girl sitting next to him playing a Kanile soprano uke so I would agree these ukuleles are worth every penny and then some.
thats my two pence worth
I think some one would love one of these as a starter ukulele
