About this deal

Completing the deal is a set of Aquila New Nylguts (the smooth and pearly variety) and a branded cloth drawstring carry bag. And they can be very, very good indeed. There are some excellent friction tuners available, from well known brands such as Gotoh. And if you look at the Makala are essentially the cheaper, non solid wood versions of the Kala ukuleles. As you would expect from Kala, there's a big choice, offering It’s accessible for all budgets and has a fantastic selection for individuals who are still learning. The smooth, strong finish is a giant draw for this model, and its look is interesting for individuals who are just getting started. If you would like a great quality model with excellent sound at a reasonable price, this could possibly be the best choice for you.

The only real issue lies in action. For those who prefer lower strings, you are better off playing a bit more to get a higher-quality instrument. It is simply not worth the cost to adjust the action on this instrument unless you or someone you know is comfortable doing it for free. What Are People Saying?

Lastly, is it playable? It certainly is. Kala has a reputation for giving us good quality instruments, which remains true even with their budget brand. For a beginner-level, budget ukulele, the playability is superb.

The tuning pegs are made of metal with plastic nobs on the end. While they work fine to do their job, some people mentioned that the plastic nobs vibrate depending on how you play. How Does The Makala SD Dolphin Ukulele Play? The Makala range is more focused on the new players and offers great entry-level ukuleles that will probably satisfy everyone.I would never have bought a Kala or Makala instrument unless someone who knew had told me that they sound pretty good with the proper strings, but not to go by what they sound like with the strings they come with from Kala– A difficult leap of faith for initially for me and too many others. It’s the same for almost any other instrument– Identical brands/models of clarinets, for instance, with ‘identical’ brand/model mouthpiece/reed combinations will sound differently, because no two are exactly identical– clarinets, mouthpieces, reeds– regardless that they were made in ‘exactly’ the same way, in the same factory, by the same person, so you have to go to the music store and try different combinations of mouthpieces and reeds before the individual instrumenet will sound to your satisfaction. Each type and style of Makala ukulele produces a unique sound. Consider the tonal qualities you desire, whether you prefer a bright, cheerful tone or a deeper, mellow sound. Trying different models or listening to audio samples can help you determine your preferred sound profile. Budget
