Not a Billie Eilish fan but I'm considering buying this just because she seems like a good, kind person. Ofc, outside appearances of celebrities are often deceiving but the thought kinda feels nice during times like these 😁
The uke sounds excellent but I do not think i could live with the appearance. I am currently playing a beautiful Fender Koa Nehao but the instrument was discontinued in 2017. What a shame!!!
With all due respect -- it seems your main point to support your claim that it's a "good" ukulele is that it stays in tune. Well, I have four ukuleles, and they all stay in tune. Three out of them have friction tuners, by the way, which may slip once in a while, unlike geared tuners. But they don't weigh the headstock down, like those encapsulated things on the Fender headstock, which is beautiful but, I think, too large for a ukulele. It might also not fit into most ukulele cases you can buy, because they are built for a symmetrical headstock. I think you can get better ukuleles for a similar price. For example, you can get a Kala Solid Spruce top concert without a pick-up (more on that later) for less, or a Flight Princess for the same price or less, with or without pick-up. Now, concerning the tuner and the pick-up. I don't think it is necessary for your first ukulele to be a plug-in ukulele. You won't want to perform in front of people when you are just learning the chords, and by the time you are a stage-ready player, you will likely want a better ukulele. Also, you don't really need a built-in tuner. Unless you are literally deaf (like ukulele player Mandy Harvey, who is awesome, by the way) you should learn how to tune your instrument by ear. And if you happen to find yourself in a noisy environment where you cannot hear your own voice, you can still use a clip-on tuner that works by picking up the instrument's vibrations. They start at 5 bucks and are fairly accurate, most of them are capable of giving the divergence in 5 cent steps. I use a tuner that can read single cent divergences, but only for setting up instruments. I like the ukulele's design, but the rest...meh.
@@RatFurnis she's not a bad musician at all! Check out her tiny desk performance. She's doing some really nice extended chords on the piano and changing the scale appropriately almost like a jazz singer. Certainly a cut above your standard pub gig 12 bar blues performer
Just remember one thing, loud doesn't equal to good and quite doesn't equal to bad, it's how you use them to create your sound. She does a great job at her thing and it's not that she can't sing loud, she does have a song where she belts a high note. It isn't always just about ability, also artistic choices.

Joshua Lessore I think she’s a talented musician for sure I just thought that a signature uke seemed strange as I wasn’t aware she played
At last, an instrument that matches her whispering volume.
she doesn’t really whisper she just has a soft tone and you should listen to no time to die
she doesnt whisper though??
PLEASE. IF I HEAR THAT SHE WHISPERS ONE MORE TIME.
@@king_billie no need to caps shout, you’ll drown out her singing.
