      It has a lovely voice. Takes a couple of weeks for strings to stretch enough to stay in tune. It seems like its tone is getting richer the more I play.

    • Excellent instrument

      Great big sound from this little gem! It's beautiful, stays in tune, and gets back in tune like it remembers where it should be with very little tuning. I will buy more ukeleles by Kala when I am ready to record and expand my playing.

      I have 3 ukuleles: soprano, concert & tenor. I did NOT like the feel and sound of my current soprano so I decided to buy another one to replace it. Kala KA-15S was a great choice. The height of the strings from the fret board is perfect and makes it a dream to play. The sound is so sweet. I also like the look. This is my first Kala. I will have to investigate Kala for future purchases.

    • I would buy this product again.

      If his guitar is too small, a Ukulele will be much to small.
