Review: I'm not sure what a beginner uke is anymore. - I keep seeing comments that this is a fantastic beginner uke. That is rubbish. This is a fantastic ukulele regardless of skill level. What do you want before it is no longer a beginners instrument? It has a rosewood fretboard, nickel frets, geared tuners, great action, great sound, comes with quality strings. So what's left? I understand that it doesn't have a solid wood body but that isn't necessarily a bad thing. There are people like me that don't want to concern themselves with whether or not the humidity in the corner of the bedroom is going to warp the body of our favorite ukulele. I don't have to worry so much about humidity with this ukulele. I have three ukuleles now. One is an Oscar Schmidt OU3 concert and the other is a mango Fluke. The fluke is much deeper and louder. This Kala ukulele manages to remain delicate and still project it's sound well. It's hard to tell you what I appreciate about this ukulele without bringing emotion into it. But I'm going to try to explain. If I were knocking around with a friend who had an acoustic guitar then I would grab my Fluke. If I were singing with a group of kids I would grab my Fluke. It's loud, fun, and looks cool. If I were posing for a picture I would grab my Oscar Schmidt because it looks beautiful. That's mostly what it's good for. Nothing wrong with that. It really is a pretty concert ukulele. However, if i'm going to sit in the front lawn by myself under the moonlight and pitch a ballad out there this Kala is the ukulele I'm taking. If I'm singing to my wife, this Kala is the ukulele I'm using. Do you know what that means? It means that this ukulele is special.
Review: Amazing - This was my first ukulele, i bought it a bit over six months ago and I still can't put it down, it's amazing. I'm always VERY weary of buying musical instruments online, but my local Sam ash didn't have anything in my price range, so I chose this based on the wonderful reviews and I'm glad I did. Amazing sound and quality, especially for the price and super fun and easy (but I play guitar so that might be why it took me five minutes to master a good handful of basic chords and an hour to work out "here comes the sun" by ear) to play. I still have the original strings on it and they still sound amazing after all these months. At first the strings WOULD NOT stay in tune (but I've heard that's just a thing that happens with new strings on ukulele) but after a week or two of tuning and retuning (at first every half-hour or so, but gaining time the more they were tuned until they finally stayed) but now they'll stay in tune for a good few days depending on how much I play and whether or not I use a pick ( I'm told your not supposed to, but I'm a guitarist at heart and I prefer the crisper sound it gives the music so I use a thin size guitar pick ) It's also pretty tough, the zipper on the gig bag I bought for it broke about a month in so it's been flying naked to and from band practice and, occasionally, school and there isn't a scratch on it. I'm comfortable with tossing it onto the (carpeted, I wouldn't try it with hardwood or tile or anything) floor of our practice space at my drummer's house without a second thought, plus I'm a total klutz. But you'd never know what it's been through looking at it. My one complaint is that the fretboard feels kind of unfinished, which might present problems in the future with repeated use. Bottom line: his is a great ukulele and you will NOT regret buying it

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does this one have aquila strings?**
A: Yes, the Kala KA-S I bought did have Aquila strings.  They stayed in tune and had a very sweet tone. Intonation was the biggest problem with this uke.  But still, worth the money.

**Q: I had a beginners Ukulele, and the strings weren't nylon. Will I need to replace the strings with nylon once it ships? How was the quality of them?**
A: The stings on this Ukulele are Aquila strings and are very appraised by the ukulele community.  You should not have to replace the strings.  They will take about a week to stretch out until they stay in tune, but once they do they will last a pretty long time.  The longer you have the strings on the better they will sound.  You don't have to replace Uke strings until you started noticing marks rubbed in from the frets.  Quality is great!

**Q: What color is it? The pics in the search show a brighter orangy-brown, but here it looks like a dark brown wood.**
A: It depends on the lighting of the room. If you put it in the sun it will shine with the brighter orangey-brown but in less focused lighting it looks like the dark brown wood. It is gorgeous.

**Q: Does it come with a bag?**
A: No. It comes in a box shaped like the uke. It is fine for storage, buy you may want to consider purchasing a separate bag if you plan on being on the go.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic Uke
*by S***L on January 20, 2012*

This is the first instrument I have ever owned or played. It sounds amazing and is so much fun to just pick up and jam out some chords. You cannot go wrong with this Uku, I have heard a few different brands/models and I think this one sounds the best (for the cost), it definitely passes that line between toy and instrument. It even comes with nylgut strings, which are the brightest sounding. It is also laminate which means it's strong and forgiving, so you can take it anywhere and don't have to worry about temperature and humidifiers like a solid wood piece. My C string has a little "whistle" to it which is common of cheaper instruments or ones that have not been "set up". It could be fixed if sent to a music shop, but it's so miniscule that it is a non issue for me. It took about a day or so of constant tuning and playing to stretch the strings. It's so simple and fun to just sit down and learn to play your favorite songs! For $50, you could not ask for more fun!
