Product Description

Inspired by the entertaining sights and unique spirit of Venice, California, we created a soprano ukulele that captures its vibe—the Venice Ukulele. Thanks to its compact, comfortable body size, the Venice travels easily from the beach to the studio or jam room, while its all-basswood construction produces the classic, light sound that has made this instrument a "must-have" for today's players. The slim "C"-shaped neck profile is comfortable to hold and easy to play, while the no-tie bridge makes changing strings a breeze. Featuring classic Fender color options and painted 4-in-line Tele headstock, this uke pays homage to Fender tradition. With the Venice ukulele, you can live the carefree beach lifestyle year-round.

From the manufacturer

Venice Ukulele Highlights

No-Tie Bridge California Coast ukuleles feature a convenient no-tie bridge, making string changes a breeze in comparison to traditional ukulele bridges that require special knotting.

It was a good deal, like new, for only $50. I'll ship it to the Philippines for a friends kid to learn on. Fender Ukuleles are better made than most of the factory made junk out there.

Tuners are plastic

Since the tuners are plastic they were difficult to tune and since there is no threading and came off easily. The body of the ukelele seems to match its price.

So happy I got it with a gift card I got for Christmas. Im learning to play. I want to play in church. I've asked the pastor if we could maybe form a ukulele band for church. Fun instrument cost less than $60. Im old but a kid could pick this up really fast.

Okay for beginner uke but not good at staying in tune

Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2018

Color: NaturalSize: SopranoVerified Purchase

I am a beginner player and had a Kala KA-15 that I gave away. I was planning to replace it with the same but saw that Fender made ukes. I’ve always been a Fender guitar guy, so went with the Fender ukulele. This is just a beginner uke, so I don’t expect anything amazing. Just a beginner uke. However, as others noted, the tuners aren’t very good and the strings don’t stay in tune very well (particularly the G and A). Will try to replace the strings to see if it helps at all. I’m thinking maybe I shpuld have just gotten the Kala again...

Avoid this, beginners. It is a waste of money.

Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2021

I’ll be honest, I expected much better from Fender. I recently (Jan-2021) started learning to play the ukulele. I ordered this because, as a beginner I wanted to keep the price reasonable and gauge my interest after a few lessons. So not knowing much about instruments in a reasonable beginner price level, I put my trust and faith in the Fender Venice in the red color. It arrived and I was excited to get started learning.

I immediately noticed it wouldn’t stay in tune. I figured the strings are nylon so maybe they stretched a bit. But after a couple of weeks trying to get the strings to remain in tune, I got frustrated and decided to try putting nicer strings on it. Again, gave it a couple of weeks of trying to get the strings stretched and to remain in tune. No luck.

Ultimately, I wound up spending $320 for a different ukulele from a different ukulele maker. I have been extremely happy with it and after just a couple of initial string stretching, this ukulele stays in tune!

I took the time to really give it a chance, but I have to give this a strong *No Recommend*. It is a waste of money and Fender should be embarrassed.

Die Lieferung erfolgte schnell und die Ukulele war sicher verpackt.
Der Klang ist super. Habe die Ukulele verschenkt. Auf einer Reise durch Indonesien, hat sie Treue Dienste geleistet.
Die Strapazen des Urlaubs hat sie gut überstanden.
Die Ukulele macht einen wertigen Eindruck. Man muss sie ab und an neu stimmen. Das liegt jedoch daran dass Holz sich ausdehnt oder zusammen zieht , je nach Temperatur.
Ich kann die Ukulele bestens weiter empfehlen.

音量、音抜け、ピッチ共に問題ないと思います。塗装の甘さはご愛嬌。見た目のインパクトやチェリーの発色は良好です。付属のソフトケースもファスナーがしっかりしていてコスパが高いです。弦を結ぶ必要のないノータイ・ブリッジの意味が不明でしたが、クラッシックギターのような弦の処理が不要のブリッジの事でした。弦を結んでコブを作るタイプです。結果、弦は結びます。

Simply brilliant!

I love this ukulele! Lightweight, lovely feel and finish. Holding tuning well for a brand new instrument/strings. Very playable action straight out of the box. Only quibble - it does not come with a gig bag: come on, Fender! But simply an affordable and playable real ukulele. Don'T waste £20 on a veginner's toy ukulele, invest just under £50 and get a real instrument you will enjoy playing for a long time! Highly recommended to all.
