The Ukadelic line features designs submitted by ukulele lovers from all over including three new designs for 2017. These playful ukes now come in durable plastic and there is a design to get anyone excited.

Designer Kristina Mathwig has always had a passion for the arts but was persuaded to take a more practical vocational route in life. In recent years, however, while caregiving for her parents, she found herself returning to that passion. Mandalas were of particular interest due to their renown for absorbing stress - helping her find peace, joy, calm, and focus through her design.

I purchased an entry level "Ukadelic" uke a couple of years ago and I LOVE it. My daughter has recently shown an interest in playing so I thought I would pick up another Ukadelic model for her to start with. She found this one and was drawn to the funky pattern. Recognizing the brand, I niavely did not do any additional research on this model and simply purchased it for her (based on my satisfaction with my own). When we got it home, and she tried to play it, it was clear that this was not even remotely close to the quality of the one I own. It is entirely made of plastic and has a very dull sound to it. Tuning it was also a challenge AND it went out of tune almost immediately. NOTE: Full disclosure ... The salesperson who sold us the uke (who was awesome!) did mention that it may take some time for the strings to "stretch" and "settle". While, I do not recall having this issue with the one I purchased a couple of years back, I am willing to give it the benefit of the doubt. Having said this, playing the uke, when it constantly goes out of tune is anything but pleasant. Although my uke is also a soprano model, this one is also smaller than mine (which likely explains the "dull" sound?). We ended up doing some research to see if we were "missing something" and it seems that the Ukadelic ukes have recently been redesigned and the quality seems to have suffered. It seems more like a "toy" than an actual starter ukulele. I have never wrote a negative review before, but felt the need to share our experience so that others would be aware of what they are purchasing. I'm sorry to say that we will be returning this uke ... despite how beautiful it looks.

Performance Warranty Banner

Protect your investment with the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty

A warranty can be a very important factor when making a buying decision. Because repairs can be very expensive in terms of parts and labour costs, manufacturers usually only provide one year limited warranties that generally only cover items that malfunction due to a manufacturer’s defect. With an important purchase such as a musical
instrument or piece of studio gear, however, many people want to have the peace of mind in knowing that their investment will be protected should the product no longer be performing at 100%.

Because of this, Long & McQuade provides our customers with a FREE one-year Performance Warranty on most of our products. The Long & McQuade Performance Warranty supplements the manufacturer’s warranty to ensure that our customers receive complete “no hassle” warranty coverage within their first year.

How does the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty differ from most manufacturers' warranties?
  • Performance Guarantee: Normal wear and tear is covered, so your product will be performing as well as the day you purchased it for the entire duration of the coverage. Band and Orchestral Performance Warranty does not include replacing pads or cleaning for woodwind instruments, unless deemed necessary by our repair staff. Ultrasonic cleaning for brass instruments will be provided if deemed necessary by our repair staff, but is not routinely offered under the Performance Warranty.
  • Product Replacement: If your product cannot be fixed or costs too much to fix, we will replace it with the equivalent model for no additional charge. If this is not possible, a full refund will be provided.
  • No Lemon Policy: Your product will be replaced should the same problem occur multiple times.
  • Convenient: Easy drop off and pick up of the product at any Long & McQuade location.
  • Guitar Setup: Guitars purchased at Long & McQuade come with 1 free setup, to be redeemed within 1 year for new guitars and 90 days for used guitars.
  • Loaners Available: A loaner product may be given while the product is being repaired.
  • Power Surge Protection: Your product is covered even if damaged from a power surge.
  • Accessory Coverage: Any peripheral devices or accessories that come with your product (i.e. foot pedal, case) are also covered.
  • Commercial Use Coverage: Music and recording professionals who purchase gear for “heavy-use” commercial purposes will still be covered.
 

Long & McQuade reserves the right to restrict the purchase of additional years of Performance Warranty. Used products come with a 3-month Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Some products (i.e. computers, software, cymbals and other items) are covered only by the manufacturer‘s warranty. Consumables (i.e. strings, reeds, drum sticks, batteries, tubes, cross faders) are excluded as they are designed to be replaced. Cosmetic Damage, Accidental Damage, or problems caused by Humidity or Temperature Issues are not covered. Speakers damaged by overpowering are generally not covered. Our coverage does not provide compensation for loss of use. As of June 2018 the Performance Warranty is no longer transferable. The warranty is only valid in Canada.

Purchasing additional years of coverage

Some manufacturers provide warranties for longer than 1 year; however, these are usually limited warranties that do not provide the same coverage as the Long & McQuade Performance Warranty. Customers interested in more complete and convenient (but not necessarily longer) coverage are still able to purchase additional years of the Performance Warranty.

If you are interested in receiving this coverage for longer than one year, you have the option of purchasing additional years of the Performance Warranty. The pricing is as follows:

  • NEW products: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
  • USED products: 4% of the current new selling price to increase the warranty from 3 months to 1 year. 4% for each additional year.
  • GUITARS: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year. $45 maximum. An additional free setup is not included with additional purchased years of Performance Warranty.
  • BAND and ORCHESTRAL instruments: 4% of the current new selling price to double the warranty from 1 year to 2 years. 4% for each additional year.
