Kala Makala Concert Mahogany Ukulele (MK-C) White Accents

I love it. I love it. My first ever uke was a Stagg soprano and I learned the bare minimum on that. My husband kept nicking my Stagg (guitar player interested in uke) so I got him his own Makala soprano (MK-S). I saw a massive difference between my Stagg and his Makala and I then kept nicking his Makala! I researched more about Makala and read rave reviews about them. They're highly recommended as a quality budget uke. They look the part. They look quality and they sound quality. I bought this concert Makala because I wanted something ever so slightly bigger than a soprano. As owners of a soprano Makala and a concert Makala we can tell you they have just a great sound to them. They don't sound 'plinky' as with ukuleles that are thrown together on the cheap. Every last inch of this feels like it's made properly. It has a nice loud sound to it and it isn't covered with paint which can inhibit sound. It's fantastic for the money.

Excellent Ukulele, great tone, well worth the money. Makala are the lower priced range from Kala. The concert size is a little bigger than the traditional Soprano ukulele, but still has the classic ukulele sound. The larger fret board makes it easier to play and it is louder than the soprano model. It is definitely worth spending a bit extra for this Ukulele, the quality is really good and it holds its tuning very well. The strings that are fitted are also excellent quality.

Luckily the ukulele remained fine but the packaging/box is kinda beat up. Sound is very full and the uke plays very well even on higher frets. Great ukulele that will hopefully last me for a long time. Looks beautiful and the pictures accurately show this. The tuners are alight, though I realise that my c string tends to slip out of tune more than the others. Overall, definitely well worth the price tag!

Quality at its best! A great instrument which is an asset to my collection. I have only been learning the Ukulele for 6 Months and am amazed how the sound is different for each range of Ukulele. The quality of Makala is second to none and I would be happy to recommend this instrument to all novice players like myself.

I truly believe that you should pay that little bit extra for a better quality Ukelele. I did my research by reading online reviews. I initially bought a basic one to see if I liked the Ukulele, there is no comparison in the sound quality.

This is a good value budget ukelele. It's made from plywood with a mahogany veneer finish but it looks great. It came ready-strung with Aquila strings - a bonus. Being a south-paw I've had to swap the strings around but that was easy as and I can now learn how to play it! The tone is great. Buy a case and an electronic tuner to complete the set............

Bought as a Xmas present - too early to say - looks ok,

This is a great product and for the price I can't fault it at all.

Overall this is a great little musical instrument..especially for the price. If your thinking about a Ukulele for the first time I would highly recommend this model. I Originally purchased the Kala KA-S (soprano) ukulele, but within a few hours realized that it was just too small for me to comfortably play. If your a full size adult I recommend going with this Concert sized Uk.. You get a larger body, longer neck with slightly wider spaced frets, and I really like the richer sound tone that the larger body gives. The quality is high for this price range ($65). The fit and finish is great, no visible flaws, the finish is good, the glue inside is cleanly done without any mess.. a good sign of quality. The neck is clean and smooth, frets are well finished..nothing sharp.. This is the lower cost "Makala" MK-C version of the Kala KA-C (both by Kala).. The difference seems to be (other than $40) is that this Makala version has open tuners (you can see the gears on the back) and white tuner pegs, as opposed to closed, all metal tuners on the Kala version. And this version does not have white banding... But.. if your not worried about the nicer looks of the Kala version, this plays very well and saves you $40. Set up and play-ability on my Uk was good.. no problem with fret buzz or hard to "note" strings.. the string height is just about where it should be. The tone is great, and I've really enjoyed learning to play the Uk over the last few month.. very relaxing to just sit among the trees and strum away...

Akoru hemen atıyor 10 dk bile sürmüyor yeniden akoruna düzenleme çekmen gerekiyor.. ilk öğrenen birisi için zevkli, uygun değil. Chat’e uyup aldım, görüntüsü dışında pek bi özelliği yok, bunu bilerek alın. Kutusunu çöpe attığım için iade edemiyorum mejbur dekor olarak duracak. Benim gibi yapmayın, gidin yerinden seçip, dokunup alın. Böyle şeyler internetten sipariş verilmez, bi kez daha anladım. Ben yaptım, siz yapmayın..

This ukulele is so much more beautiful in person than I thought it would be!! It sounds gorgeous and the strings are great quality. I researched and researched, and decided I had to have a Kala because they're the best. I play guitar and violin, so I'm musical, but new to the ukulele. I'm so glad I got my new instrument. It's PERFECT!!

El Kala MK-C es un ukelele de concierto que combina un diseño clásico con una construcción sólida. El acabado satinado le da un aspecto elegante y resalta la belleza natural de la madera, mientras que su tamaño concierto ofrece más espacio en el diapasón, lo que resulta ideal para principiantes o personas con manos más grandes. El clavijero de engranajes asegura una afinación estable, algo esencial para disfrutar de un sonido consistente mientras tocas. Las cuerdas incluidas son adecuadas para comenzar, pero un cambio a cuerdas de mayor calidad podría elevar el sonido aún más. Aspectos destacados: Tamaño concierto, ideal para principiantes y músicos intermedios. Acabado satinado que realza el diseño y la calidad de construcción. Clavijero de engranajes que mantiene la afinación estable. A considerar: Las cuerdas incluidas cumplen su función, pero podrían reemplazarse para un mejor rendimiento sonoro. En general, el Kala MK-C es una excelente opción para quienes buscan un ukelele versátil y bien construido, perfecto para aprender o para quienes ya tienen algo de experiencia.

Update: It's now 3-1/2 years since I wrote the review below, and I have to say that every one of these ukuleles has held up beautifully. If anything, in fact, they actually sound better than they did when they were new. I can't recommend the Makala brand any more strongly. I absolutely love my MK-C Concert ukulele! I also have the Kala MK-S Soprano, MK-P Pineapple Soprano, MK-T Tenor, and MK-B Baritone and love them all. I have had no problems with the action, intonation, and overall construction of these little beauties. They are very reasonably priced and offer the quality of some higher-priced ukes on the market. I have tried several brands, including the more expensive Kala units, and am absolutely satisfied with the Makala by comparison. I highly recommend any of these ukuleles.
