The uke has a warm clear tone. The provided strings are for a high G tuning. Regardless of your preference for high or low G tuning, I'd recommend swapping the strings out right away - no point in waiting for bad strings to stretch just to have to replace them later.
Would I recommend this uke? It does need a little help, but the end result will be worth the time put in to get it there.
