Why it matters
The LU-21 has been the entry point into Lanikai's range for years and was one of the models that carried the ukulele boom at the low end. It is priced below most solid-wood instruments and competes mainly on consistency and availability. Because so many were sold, secondhand examples are easy to find.
Note
Long-running entry soprano, nato body. One of the models that defined the 2000s ukulele boom at the low end.
Specifications
- Scale length: unknown

Before you buy
- Entry-level instruments often need the action lowered after purchase
