Pleasantly surprised but with some reservations.
I bought this as a kind of project. I didn’t expect too much for a solid Acacia Uke at this price but I was generally pleased. The selection of wood does have some shaded patches but I didn’t pay Kanilea prices so it’s fair. The binding is well done and looks good. Setup was very good, frets well dressed and it has excellent intonation, amazing sustain and is not too ‘boomy’. I normally like Aquila strings but these ones fitted didn’t suit this Uke. The particularly thick headstock (22mm) has a dark veneer which in my case was chipped, it’s a bit bland looking too. Saddle and nut appear to be plastic so I will replace them with better quality ones and set up the Uke exactly how I like it. I also have replaced the plastic fret dots with Abalone ones.
The machine heads are really cheap and very nasty, one of the ferrules rattled in its hole! They will be replaced as soon as possible but the thickness of the headstock limits choice of replacement to certain guitar sets. I needed to order strap buttons too.
I did have to consider that my adaptations may negate the warranty.
So in summary, with a little work and outlay you can have a much much nicer Ukulele - if you are not afraid of doing some work yourself. If you can’t, then it’s still okay for the money.

Fine Baritone Ukulele
Excellent value, very well made and finished. Clean fretboard, good action and set-up and I really like the wound D and G strings (B and E strings are nylon - make unknown). Really great sustain from this instrument. Tuners work well and the fret ends are very smooth. Altogether a very sweet and playable instrument.

Superb
Beautiful tone.
Great volume.
Infinite sustain.
Extremely comfortable neck.
Cons: i can't go back to my tenor. Baritone is the one for me now.
Thanks to the Thomann staff, always kind and professional.

Ein schönes Instrument, aber leider überzeugt die Intonation nicht
Ich habe diese Ukulele aufgrund der vielen guten Bewertungen gekauft. Optisch und klanglich war ich zunächst auch sehr überzeugt. Allerdings ist es kaum möglich, sauber zu intonieren. Das fällt spätestens dann auf, wenn man einige Tonleitern durchprobiert. Nachdem das in den Kommentaren zuvor nie erwähnt wurde, hatte ich vielleicht Pech und habe ein "Montagsinstrument" erwischt? Sehr schade jedenfalls, denn ansonsten hat mir die De Luxe wirklich gefallen.
