Question: What's a good beginner's Ukulele!?
I wan't to start playing the Ukulele!. I've been playing cello for seven, going on eight years, and I've decided that Ukulele is something different and new that I would like to learn!.

Does anyone know any good Ukulele's that cost, say, under a hundred dollars!? Thanks!Www@QuestionHome@Com

Yes, there are all kinds of ukes under $100!. Even good ones!.
I advise all beginners to start with a Lanikai with geared tuners!. Friction tuners are a bear for beginners learning to tune!. And if you play a cello I suggest you buy a concert or tenor size uke b/c your fingers are accustomed to stretching and the tenor has larger frets!.
also, see if there's a local ukulele club in your area and visit it!. You'll be glad you did b/c you'll find all kind of ukes and every ukster I've met are nice people that will gladly help you with any questions!.
However, here's some sites to help you!.

Oh yeah, a baritone ukulele doesn't tune the same as a regular uke!.
