KalaSoprano Ukulele in Satin Mahogany (KA-15S)

The best thing I have ever bought for myself for the amount of money spent!! I deliberated over a lot of ukes. The pictures do not do it justice - it looks, feels and sounds beautiful - the tuner buttons are pearlescent rather than block white which is a really nice touch. The strings are light, and gentle on the finger tips for a beginner. Even though the instrument is new it holds tune well only requiring minor adjustment. I also bought a flight tus35 for my son and it is going majorly out of tune every time it’s put down, so there’s quite a contrast between the two despite being similarly priced... I really can’t rave about the Kala ks15 enough - it’s just sheer joy!! I’ve played a few hours every day, wonderful.Update 3 weeks later: playing daily, still love it. Warning: the wood is very soft, head stock vulnerable to damage (small ding thanks to son 😫), if not in your hands put in a case straight away.

I am so glad I did my online research to see how different ones sound and didn't just go for a cheep end market one as a beginner, because the sound and the feel makes me want to keep picking it up to practice. The YouTube reviews with a Ukulele being played by someone who had a musical ear pointed out the clear difference of the sounds, which ruled out all the cheep non mahogany ones. The also demonstrated the quality of make in all the important areas, some of which make all the difference in enjoying the item. I narrowed it down to enjoying the sound of the Kala KA-155 and the Luna Tattoo. The cheeper ones sounded much harsher and more toy like in comparison. This was my first choice to learn with as I wanted a Soprano ukulele to start. If I decide I would like to move onto a Concert Ukulele the Luna will be my next purchase.

I had bought a Rocket US10R but that was claimed by granddaughter so looked for another one a little more substantial and preferably with better strings. This one had consistent good write up plus Nygut strings already fitted. I'm not a super duper player but like to tockle along. This Uke is very good quality, looks beautiful too and has beautiful clear sound. It comes with Nylgut strings which make a big difference and saves you buying them later.Nylon strings need regular tuning anyway but these are easy and hold their tune well, only very minimal adjustment needed before playing. The cheaper strings on previous model didn't need much adjustment either after bedding in, but these sound and feel far superior and settle almost immediately. Delivery was super fast and within days. As a bonus it came with a very good quality Uke bag, which isn't made clear in the description.Taking into consideration the Nylgut strings and the bag. not speaking about the excellent built quality and sound of this ukulele makes it a fantastic bargain, It always sits near me and I have to smile each time I look at it. I highly recommend this one.

Really good ukulele! Picked it up as a starter one just to learn. The build quality is excellent, has been dropped a few times but has remained sturdy, yet is light enough to take anywhere. The sound quality is excellent, can produce a very loud sound when strummed hard.Did have a slight issue with one of the strings being a bit loose (would lose tune after round 20 minutes), however restringing that string fixed the issue.As with all nylon stringed instruments, this will lose tune very quickly to begin with, however after a few weeks they will settle in and hold a tune much longer - my uke has been in tune for 2 days now.

A wonderful instrument for the price, beautiful sound and holds its tuning well,not needing much even in the first few days.Though I am a beginner, I could not hear a significant difference between this uke and an expensive one made by a lutier at a group I attended.A lot of care seems to go into the making of these instruments and I am so happy with the uke that I have ordered the kala c concert uke.My husband was a little put out, thinking I planned to give concerts, as a senior citizen beginner.Playing the uke is such a joyful thing and beats all the mindfulness twaddle when you are a certain age.I am uke mad at the moment.Review from wife of account holder, a very happy bunny, with this product and brilliant Amazon service, as ever.

It's difficult to find a starter ukulele that holds its tuning and has reasonable intonation. This is a fine quality instrument and I am happy with it. Will look to buy the concert and tenor ukes from this supplier in the future.

I am new to the ukulele so wanted to do a lot of research before I bought one. I didn't want to buy the cheapest out there but wanted to spend a little bit more. This ukulele had a lot of great reviews so I went with it and am so glad that I did. To be honest I don't have anything to compare it to but I love my new ukulele! It has a great sound and holds its tune really well. The only downside I had is that it didn't come with a bag so am just storing it in the box it came in just now. It's a nice box though so I don't mind. A definite 5 stars though :)

This is my first Ukulele and it seems absolutely perfect for a beginner so far! It sounds great and keeps its tune well once strings have been stretched. I’d definitely recommend this to anyone looking to start playing - I haven’t been able to put it down! It’s also easy to tune using an app on your phone.The only downside is that it doesn’t come with a protective case but these can be purchased fairly cheap anyway!
