There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
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.
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
As far as intonation and play is concerned, it is alright. It barely deviates from being in tune up the fretboard, and seems to perform well. The sound is nice and rich, and while I'm just an intermediate player I like it a bit more than my soprano. The extra frets do come in handy for playing some songs as well. My only issue with it is that the third string can buzz a bit when playing the notes a little hard (within reason), but this is a random manufacturing defect that could occur in a new uke. Don't be afraid to return and re-buy this ukulele if you have buzzing issues that can't be easily fixed.
Overall I would definitely buy this ukulele again. It's a pretty cool instrument, and this one performs well. I've talked to friends who have been interested in getting one, and this is the one I recommend.

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%
