Why You'll Love the Kala KA-15S

• Excellent first ukulele: A popular choice for beginners who want an affordable instrument they can actually enjoy learning on.
• Classic soprano size: Compact dimensions deliver the bright, cheerful sound traditionally associated with the ukulele.
• Mahogany construction: Mahogany top, back, and sides help produce a warm, balanced tone.
• Aquila Super Nylgut® strings: Quality strings provide a comfortable feel and clear ukulele tone.
• Graph Tech NuBone® nut and saddle: A quality upgrade compared with the basic plastic components often found on inexpensive beginner instruments.
• Smooth satin finish: Comfortable in the hands with an attractive, understated appearance.
• Easy to take anywhere: At just over 21 inches long, the KA-15S is ideal for lessons, classrooms, travel, camping, and playing at home.

Is the Kala KA-15S Good for Beginners?

Yes. The Kala KA-15S is an excellent choice for someone learning to play the ukulele. Its soprano body is small and manageable, and the 13.625-inch scale keeps the frets relatively close together. That can make basic chords comfortable for children, students, and many first-time adult players.

Just as importantly, the KA-15S is designed as a genuine musical instrument. Beginners can learn on an instrument with quality Aquila Super Nylgut strings, a Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle, and traditional wood construction rather than starting with a toy-quality ukulele that may be frustrating to play.

Classic Mahogany Ukulele Tone

The KA-15S features mahogany on the top, back, and sides, giving it a warm, pleasing voice that works beautifully for strumming chords, accompanying singing, and learning your first songs.

Because it's a soprano ukulele, you also get the compact feel and bright character many people picture when they think of the classic ukulele sound.

• Kids and students learning their first string instrument
