Review: Surprisingly Excellent Quality! - I ordered two Ukulele's for my daughters. One was this Makala and the other the Lanikai. They both cost about the same and we wanted to have them be different to avoid any conflicts between the girls. desertcart shipped them quickly and they were both very well packaged, as usual. Christmas morning the girls opened them up and the difference was immediately apparent. The Makala looked like a much better instrument. The Lanikai looked pretty, but it also looked pretty cheap. The difference in tone was astounding. The Makala sounded so much warmer, sweeter and musical. The Lanikai sounded tinny and cheap. It looked like an instrument, but it didn't sound like one. The Makala was quick and easy to tune. And it held its tune from the get go. The Lanikai struggled to hold its tune generally, but on of the machined tuners simply would not hold a tune. I contacted desertcart and they gave me a full refund on the Lanikai. It is shipping back today. I ordered another Makal but with the black tuning pegs to maintain a difference for the girls. I am super pleased with the Makala. It is surprising great quality for the money. I highly recommend it! Review: Great Ukulele! - My daughter loves this little Uke! Great quality for the price. Came in perfect condition, shipped wonderfully! The Ukulele came with quality strings, she didn't have to do any kind of adjustments to the instrument. The fret board to string level was perfect. It has a great sound, it's loud and punchy and very warm, compared to other Ukuleles. This is the only caveat -- one of the tuners was slightly loose (when it arrived), as it slips when she tunes or restrings. It simply requires a little more work before playing. We would highly recommend this instrument for beginners to seasoned musicians. Ooohhh...she loves it for how light it is and she loves to travel with it! ## Features - Agathis body with a satin finish - Soprano Size - Rosewood fingerboard and bridge - Mahogany neck - Fret position marks on fingerboard ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00172UVG8 | | Back Material Type | Mahogany | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,977 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #38 in Ukuleles (Musical Instruments) | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Brand | Kala | | Brand Name | Kala | | Color | White Accents | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,262 Reviews | | Finish Type | Polished | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00812040010150, 05055677204362 | | Hand Orientation | Right-Handed | | Included Components | with bag | | Instrument | Ukulele | | Instrument Size | Soprano | | Item Dimensions | 24 x 4 x 9 inches | | Item Type Name | Ukulele | | Item Weight | 13.12 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 24 x 4 x 9 inches | | Manufacturer | Kala | | Manufacturer Part Number | MK-S | | Material Type | Wood | | Model Name | MK-S | | Model Number | MK-S | | Number of Strings | 4 | | Operation Mode | Manual | | Size | Soprano | | String Material Type | Aquila Super Nylgut | | Top Material Type | Mahogany | | UPC | 812040010150 810054342229 812040010181 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year warranty to the orignal purchaser., 1 year warranty. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Kala - **Size:** One Size - **Color:** White Accents - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 24 x 4 x 9 inches - **Top Material Type:** Mahogany - **Back Material Type:** Mahogany - **String Material Type:** Aquila Super Nylgut - **Finish Type:** Polished - **Instrument:** Ukulele - **Item Weight:** 13.12 ounces ## Images ![MK-S Makala Soprano Ukulele - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61jgSPHtOSL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Size** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: can you change the strings on this ukulele?** A: You can change the strings on any well made (from a reputable company) ukuleles. I even switched the strings over because I'm a lefty, and since the bridge (the white bar for supporting the strings on a ukulele) is completely symmetrical there is no drop in quality of sound or usage! **Q: is it easy to tune makala ukulele?** A: Yes, I use my phone app, and sometimes clip on tuner. Mine came with Aquila strings, and hardly ever needs tuning, and I've had it 3 mos. **Q: Where is this instrument made?** A: Petaluma, California **Q: Can someone please verify the length is really 22"? I want to make sure it will fit in the case I have. Thanks!** A: 21 3/8" overall. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly Excellent Quality! *by B***Y on December 26, 2012* I ordered two Ukulele's for my daughters.

It's a great starter for a child. Good materials, excellent workmanship, tunes easily and is in tune all the way up the neck. It is a laminated (ply) construction but has a strong voice and very, very passable tone. Laminates are fine for kids because they need very little maintenance and are rugged. Also great for an adult player who wants a good playing, good sounding second uke for the beach or campground without risking their expensive instrument. NEW PLAYERS TAKE NOTE: All ukuleles use nylon strings. These can take several days to 'settle in' and stay in tune for long periods. If you buy a new ukulele and it keeps going out of tune, do NOT complain or despair. Just keep re-tuning until the strings stretch out and stabilize. ALL UKULELES go through this process whether they are beginners or professional models. ## Frequently Bought Together - Kala KA-MK-S Makala Soprano Ukulele - Ukulele Wood Folding Portable Stand for Mandolins and Violins - BoloPick Felt Picks for Ukulele 6 Pack (An Original Recipe) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1487348-mk-s-makala-soprano-ukulele](https://www.desertcart.com.cy/products/1487348-mk-s-makala-soprano-ukulele) --- *Product available on Desertcart Cyprus* *Store origin: CY* *Last updated: 2026-07-08*
