The shop I ordered it from also strung it with aquila strings, which is pretty much top of the line! i have been playing for about a month, and i am amazed at how easy it was to play! i have tried playing the guitar before, and this was SOOO much easier! my friend, who does plays cello, says that playing ukulele was really easy, especially since she has a background with stringed instruments. As to what brand, I would definitely suggest a Lanikai! I have their pineapple uke, and I love it, but if you would rather have a "regular" shaped ukulele, I would tell you to get a soprano. The tenor and concert sizes have deeper sounds, but it is also a lot easier to start on a soprano. If you need any more help, I would recommend going to this site and looking at the reviews, as well as some of the other stuff! Good luck!!!
