Review: Best beginner instrument I've used - Great for the money. Sounds amazing, very loud, even the smallest soprano one. Strings provided are fine, looks beautiful. Only down points (and where you're saving money) is the finish, they haven't sanded and varnished the bridge which you wouldn't notice really unless you took a hard look at it. And it gets muffled further up the fretboard (which you probably wouldn't be using as a beginner uke player anyway).
Review: Pleasing Ukulele for a low price - As a novice to the world of ukulele playing I was not prepared to spend too much on a ukulele. However I didn't want to go for one of the really budget ukuleles so decided to spend a bit more and get the Kala Makala. Based on the advice a few of the reviews I also bought some Aquila strings to go with it. I found the ukulele had quite a nice clean sound and much preferred it to my friend's Mahalo Ukulele. I also thought the strings weren't too bad; after about 2 weeks they settled down and it no longer needs to be tuned every few minutes. They are also softer and more forgiving on the fingers than the Mahalo strings. I have decided to save the Aquila strings until either a string breaks or until I improve a bit in my playing (whichever comes first). I would definitely recommend this as an entry level ukulele. I love it.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Does it come with aquila strings and carry bag?**
A: Comes with Aquila strings. Label in box says so.

**Q: Is the neck *really* made of mahogany? Can the manufacturers not find a suitable, sustainable hardwood to use instead.**
A: Yes, it is mahagany. Most major manufacturers are now working towards only using FSC certified wood. Deforestation in FSC forests is being shown to be 20 times less than forests where harvesting of wood is forbidden. There are some companies experimenting with sustainable materials, for example flaxwood which is a mixture of non-endengered european spruce and polymers. This product can be melted down and re-used so there is no wastage as well. For all manufacturers of guitars to stop using endangered woods the public simply has to stop buying their products. Roughly 7 million guitars are sold every years so consumers do have a voice. As a middle man in this system I would love to sell guitars only made from sustainable products but it is the end consumers that will decide.

**Q: Is this ukulele solid or is it laminate?**
A: Laminate.

**Q: please could you tell me if  there are tabs to attach a strap. thanks**
A: Hi no there are no tabs to attach a strap, but you could get one with a hook that would fit onto to sound box opening. Hope this helps. There again strap not really needed.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice looking
*by W***S on 5 January 2014*

This was a gift, it looks well made, but I am not an expert. The recipient loves it, they are a beginner and as such this ukulele is ideal for them to practise on. It doesn't sound too bad, that my ears have had a lot of practise at!!
