My School Ukulele
The My School Ukulele range is a great choice for the classroom, ukulele clubs, music hubs, institutions, and other education environments. The goal with these ukuleles was to create an instrument that is amazing value, yet still offers the level of quality that encourages and supports a young player as they progress on the instrument.
To minimise costs and maximise quality, we have tapped into the supply of surplus components typically left over from a run of ukulele production. This not only drastically reduces waste but means we have been able to make a product from quality components at a fraction of the cost!
These slim body models offer the same reliable quality as our regular models, but with a reduced body depth. The difference between the usual 55mm body and this slim 40mm body is that it allows easier reach for younger players, a more compact instrument for travel and a lighter ukulele.
The team at My School Ukulele have so much faith in their product that each ukulele comes with a 2 year manufacturer warranty which is unheard of at this price range. To help school administrators sleep easy, if you register your school's purchase directly with Chamberlain Music, we will extend that to 5 years of musical peace of mind.

How have we made My School Ukuleles more affordable for schools and hubs?
My School Ukuleles are made in the same factory as market leaders including Octopus Ukulele, but with a few small differences. We have managed to make them more affordable for education customers by cutting out some of the processes that are not important for schools and hubs.
Just like Octopus, My School Ukuleles come with:
- Selected Tonewood body for great sound, projection, and resonance
- Reliable, sustainable materials including laurel or walnut for fretboards and bridges
- Brass frets for smooth playing and resonant tone
- Okoume necks which add sturdiness whilst remaining lightweight
- Quality geared machine heads
- A two-year warranty extendable to five for schools and hubs (see below)
How come My School Ukuleles are more affordable?
- Supplied in plain cartons - super-protective but without expensive colour print
- Sound hole stickers and hang tags dispensed with
- We fit our own top quality nylon strings, instead of branded ones
- We recycle surplus headstocks and hardware from other productions
- Production is fitted in when the factory has best availability – and we always fill our containers to the brim!
- No middlemen or additional profit centres – My School Ukuleles go straight from factory to consumer
All these small changes help us to reduce the cost of a My School Ukulele, and allow us to offer the best bulk discounts on both single ukes and ! Rather than creating a cheap uke by cutting corners and producing a disappointing product, we have made something any student would be proud to play.
Let's get playing
A reliable, well-made ukulele should feel good under the fingers and sound great. Our smooth frets and even fingerboards help to make fingering those first ukulele chords as easy as possible. Before you know it, you’ll be strumming Somewhere Over the Rainbow or picking up your favourite ukulele tabs like an old hand.
The reliable geared tuners on these models provide tuning stability for the white nylon strings which are gentle on the fingers when you first get started. Remember to try and keep both strumming and fretting hands relaxed!
Sounding good? Looking good too!
With build quality and playability accounted for, what really inspires you to pick up and play is an instrument that looks great. We have selected the most popular colours and finishes with schools and young students for this series, applied accurately by an automated process and left to air dry for a consistent and smooth finish.
