My husband and I started playing ukulele this summer. We wanted small
instruments to take camping. I was afraid the soprano would be too
small, so I bought a concert size Kala in electric blue (I thought the
color was fun). My hubby got a tenor Kala in Mahogany. Within a month I
realized my shiny blue concert was too slippery and slid down my belly
while playing in a standing position. I put a couple of small velcro
squares on the back to prevent slipping but it didn't help much. I
decided to get a soprano in Mahogany and ordered a Kala since the first
two were well made.
When the soprano Kala it arrived I was happy
to see it came with Aquila strings which are better quality than the
original strings on the other two Kalas. We changed the strings on the
other two ukes for Aquilas based on recommendations from seasoned uke
players.
The soprano size is plenty big enough for me, although
my husband says his big fingers have trouble fitting on the smaller neck
after playing his tenor. The tone is snappy, and the workmanship is
exceptional for such a cheap musical instrument. Since we now have three
Kalas and none have flaws, I wholeheartedly recommend this brand.
I
work at Eckroth Music in Bismarck, ND and we started receiving these
ukuleles as a new product item to replace shabby, low-end ones we were
getting from a different vendor, but at a similar price range. Boy, what
a difference in quality! I wasn't a uke player until I started messing
around with this one, and I bought my own KA-15S ukulele to get started
because I love the tone and the quality construction of it. I have to
admit that I didn't know the correct tuning, because the G string is
higher then the C string right below it, and I ended up breaking my A
string because I had it tuned an octave higher than I should have. Then I
watched a Youtube video on how to re-string and tune the uke, and
pretty soon I was learning to play a Queen song. Just fabulous. I
re-strung it with Martin M600 flurocarbon strings, but the Aquila
strings that come on the uke are the most popular brand around, and for
good reason. The next time I have to re-string, I'm going to get Aquila
Nylgut strings. Some tips for would-be uke players: if you use a pick,
use a lighter gauge pick, like a .50 or lighter, to get the best tone
from your strumming and minimize the twang.
