Solid craftsmanship

The success of US-based manufacturer Kala - one of the market leaders for ukuleles - is based on high standards of quality that are on display not only in the company's premium price range, but also in its lower-priced models. Consequently, the Kala Makala MK-S is a far cry from being just a lump of wood: Its robustly laminated mahogany body features a glued mahogany neck and is covered with a semi-gloss finish, giving the instrument its organic look. The 12-fret rosewood fingerboard has a playable scale length of 342mm, and the set of Aquila Super Nylgut strings with which the instrument comes strung right from the factory make it clear that Kala has not cut any corners with this package.

And even seasoned players can benefit from a reliable soprano ukulele - an instrument that always delivers great sound, whether it's at a party, at the beach, in a hotel room, or anywhere else, and on which a few scratches here and there won't be a big deal. Speaking of scratches: To keep those to a minimum, Kala also includes a sturdy gig bag with the Makala MK-S.

About Kala

Kala Brand Music Co. is perhaps the world's most recognised ukulele manufacturer. The company was founded by the American Mike Upton in the early 2000s, in his hometown of Petaluma, California. Drawing on his earlier years of living and working in Hawaii, where he developed a deep affinity for the ukulele, Mike's mission was always to create high-quality, yet affordable ukuleles under the Kala brand that would make this instrument accessible to musicians of all backgrounds. This philosophy quickly paid dividends, leading to the rapid growth of Kala's instrument portfolio. The quality and variety of Kala's ukuleles have attracted the attention of many acclaimed artists, including Bakithi Kumalo, Abraham Laboriel Sr., Hutch Hutchinson, Twenty One Pilots, Walk off the Earth, and Eddie Vedder, all of whom are among the proud players of Kala instruments today.

Ready any time, anywhere

The Kala Makala MK-S doesn't take up much space thanks to its compact size, making it a highly versatile instrument - perfect for practising on the living room sofa, alone out in the open, or jamming in a hotel room. Kala's instruments play a vital role in the recently booming ukulele market, and consequently, the Makala MK-S soprano ukulele meets players' high demands for quality. And those who want to "level up" in terms of sound, features, and quality are sure to find just the right instrument in Kala's extensive product range, available right here in the store.
