I bought this one for DS last Christmas.

He was pretty rough with it, but it's held up pretty well. It sounds ok, it was difficult to keep in tune, b/c he was always bumping the knobs. Now he is in a train phase, so it doesn't get played with very often, but it's nice to keep around. I'm glad I didn't spend very much on it though. :)

DS1 got this one a few years ago. Holy cow, it took 1.5 years for the kid to put it down. http://www.amazon.com/Hilo-2655-Baritone-Ukulele-Mahogany/dp/B0002J92RQ
We got it at a local music shop with a coupon.

A uke is a great idea.

Thanks ladies for you recommendations! I will look into them for DS for the holiday. I think he would go crazy with happiness if he got a guitar (he is always playing with his cousins and pretending his toys are guitars and rocking out :jammin:).
