Great for the price.
I can't fault this ukulele. It is comfortable to hold, the neck is wide enough for my small hands to form chords. I only use mine for strumming songs around the house and haven't faced an audience with it but have read reviews where people say they have and they are, seemingly, impressed.Finish is generic i.e. no decoration just the binding and the KALA logo on the headstock.Tuners do what they're meant to: tune it without bother. And it holds its tuning.No glue splashes in sound hole (on my example)And no sharp fret ends + plus it is light to carry.All in all I recommend this ukulele 100%

An easy to get on with Ukulele
I've played guitar for many years now, but over the the last few I decided to take up a learn to play some new instruments. First was a harmonica, then the Irish whistle and this year I decided upon the Ukulele. After checking out a host of Ukulele reviews the Kala KA-C seemed to be favored by a lot of players. So that's the model I went for. I must admit that I'm delighted with this little instrument. The quality of the tuners and good strings help to keep the instrument in tune for extended playing. After researching the correct way to both hold and strum the Ukulele, I'm getting a pleasing overall sound from this instrument. The woods used to construct this model give a good rounded sound and the instrument will fit in very nicely on some of the songs I play within the Folk Band I perform with. This is a great little instrument to play as a starter and good enough to hold it's own for live performance. I would be surprised if you can find a fault with this little gem. I love it.

Great unique looking ukulele
This is my favourite ukulele I own. I have a few ukuleles (a kala baritone, then some lower budget brand - soprano, tenor and banjo), I brought this to upgrade my lower budget tenor and it is so great. It looks great (quite a unique wood effect), it sounds great (I put a low G string on mine, just my preference) and it is really good value for money. Highly recommend

Nice and mellow and my daughter has fallen in love with it.
We have a couple of Ukulele's now. My 8YO Daughter and I (42) are learning together. I bought her this Kala and settled for a generic branded one for myself. Now I'm jealous as the Kala sounds so much better (and wasn't that much more expensive).I'll post a video shortly, but it's difficult to hear the detail of the timbre in a video. Compared to the cheaper one, the Kala sounds warmer, still giving a strong sound but more rounded and mellow. It's not at all twangy or crass in its sound. Definitely more Hawaiian beach than George Formby.After a few weeks of retuning the Uke kept in tune and we didn't have to ask Alexa for help (which she always obliges with).

Recommendation--with thoughts for first time ukulele buyers
Well made uke with mahogany laminate front. Good sound and playability. My instrument from Amazon arrived with slight intonation problems so to fix I shaved the underside of the bridge slightly. In light of this, prospective buyers might consider buying from a specialist ukulele shop. I notice that there is now little or no price differential and given that Southern Ukulele (no connection!) for example, will give the instrument a once over before they post (free to the UK), it's worth checking around.For guitarists or the more podgy-fingered who like just a little more room on the fret board, or if you intend to play jazz style inversions further up the neck, you might consider the longer necked version Kala KA SLNG (also soprano body) for only £5 more. Or again, although inevitably a slightly thicker tone (same tuning) a concert sized ukulele might be a thought?This being said, would strongly recommend this traditional ukulele.

Lovely sounding little thing
I have wanted to have a Ukulele for a long time. I bought my 4 year old daughter a pink cheap one from local charity shop and really liked how good it sounded even though it was pretty bad. Action higher than a multi story car park and stayed in tune for about a minute. So I treated myself to this little beut.It is very easy to play stays in tune and has a really lovely sound. I have played the guitar professionally for over 30 years and I wish guitars were as easy to play and as reasonably priced. Its great just to sit and strum and it makes me happy :)

Can’t go wrong
Needed something to tinker with cuz I don’t have my guitar and didn’t want to buy another guitar either so decided to get this.Great build, sounds good and man is the size so cute haha.Guitar skills transferred pretty well. I can imagine getting a more expensive one but for this price I don’t believe that you could get a better uke. Perfect for beginners who are a bit more serious and guitarist like me who want to play something on the side

Kala brand is the best among all international brands, and the wood mahogany sounds good.

Slordig afgewerkt
Het is een aardige beginners uke, fijne snaren, klank is goed, maar op bovenblad loopt een streep, niet heel duidelijk zichtbaar meer wel als het licht er op valt. De witte randen ogen fris/leuk, maar zijn erg scherp en hier en daar ruw. Omdat ik dat teveel storende factoren vind gaat deze Kala terug.
