User questions & answers

Question:	Does ukulele have aquila strings
Answer:	Please be very careful if you use the regular guitar picks they include with this bundle. If not careful, using them can scratch up the surface of the ukulele. I just put my set of regular guitar picks that came with this in my acoustic guitar case. They do make felt picks to use with a ukulele. I'm not sure why the company didn't just include one or two of those instead. They could have done away with including actual guitar picks with this and put something that was used properly with a ukulele like felt picks but I don't even see anyone using any picks with a ukulele. What they could have done was use felt ukulele picks with the included accessories or not include any picks and put an actual ukulele capo in with it. The guitar picks are not intended for the ukulele. Not normally, anyway. A capo would have made this deal even sweeter. Things they could have included with this bundle INSTEAD OF regular hard plastic guitar picks not intended for a ukulele would be: String winder (used for restringing/changing the strings - it goes over the tuners to wind them or unwind them faster, by hand) Capo - one made specifically for a ukulele and not a regular guitar Felt Picks (even though I've never seen any ukulele player use any picks)
Question:	whats the differences between this one and ka-t
Answer:	There are many well made videos on Youtube that show you how to carefully and properly restring it, by responsible ukulele music teachers.
Question:	how does the case open
Answer:	If you are tiny and want a uke the size of a toy, buy a soprano size. This concert size Donner is the perfect size. Not a toy at all. I do not understand how anyone with normal sized hands could even play a soprano uke because the strings and frets would be so close together. Also the sound of this concert size Donner is beautiful, not tinny, because it is a little bigger. This concert size is still small, still sounds like a uke, but more what I, as a 5' 5" 120 pound woman would consider a comfortable fit and perfect size for a uke. You will love the sound. I also have a Kala baritone uke tuned like a guitar. It does not sound like a teeny, tinny uke. But the metal frets on it cut my hands. This Donner is much better finished and they look very much alike as far as the wood. This Donner is beautiful in every way. You will love it. Have fun. Enjoy. By the way, there are youtube videos that show you the different uke brands, their size and sound. Check them out.
Question:	Would you recommend replacing the strings it comes with, or are they good
Answer:	HECK NO! You'll want a baritone uke at least! A little more seriously, baritone ukes are tuned D-G-B-E (like 4 strings of a guitar) instead of usual uke G-C-E-A. It's a good thing to know if you're coming from a guitar background. Less seriously, ONLY an electric bass can Djent! I'm afraid you are djentless, my friend.

Product description

In 2005, the KA-15S came onto the market and became the industry standard for an entry-level ukulele. Before this time there were only cheap toys or expensive, custom ukuleles.

We have expanded the 15 Series to include: Soprano Black (KA-15S-BLK), Soprano Long Neck (KA-15SLNG), Soprano Spruce Top (KA-15S-S), two with Hawaiian Tattoo laser etching (KA-15S-H1 & KA-15S-H2), and the traditional mahogany instrument now in Concert (KA-15C) and Tenor (KA-15T). Our focus has always been on providing you the best possible instrument for your money.

The Frets

The nickel silver frets are all properly seated and well finished. For anyone familiar with guitars and stringed instruments, fret ends can be a very troubling point of contact with inexpensive instruments. BUT, these frets have been manicured to a level that there is no sensation whatsoever.

Love at first strum!

This is a great fit for any beginner or casual players to relax, express your creativity and puts a smile on many faces. You really only need to learn 4 chords and you're set to play hundreds of different & perfect island-y sound for most Disney/children songs and pop songs. It's pretty cool!

Aquila Strings

Aquila strings - are industry standard and are highly rated and recommended by most. These are the exact kind of strings a uke is supposed to have.

As with any string instrument, you'll need to tune the ukulele to the correct pitches: G, C, E, A.

Dancing to your Tune!

About tuning issue: It happens to any string instrument - It takes few days to stay tuned (due to new strings naturally stretching). Once it's done stretching, it will achieve a optimal tuning stability.

The uke is dynamic, resonant. Single notes have great harmonic sound.

User questions & answers

Question:	It is impossible to tell from the photos - does this ukulele have a high-gloss finish
Answer:	Yes i would say that the finish is high gloss. Also, at least for the one we received, the finish is much darker than the pictures shows. Still attractive and very nice, but a much darker color.
Question:	How are the strings? Should I replace them with betters
Answer:	I purchased a OU2 concert model for my grandson several.months ago. It was equipped with GHS string...not the best but OK. For a.much better sound from this instrument put on aquila strings. You'll notice a big difference..
Question:	Is this a tenor or a soprano uke
Answer:	It is a concert uke, in between tenor and soprano.
Question:	Where is this uke made
Answer:	Oscar Schmidt Ukes are made in Indonesia but set up here in the U.S. They are made there because of the access to many wood farms in that country. Oscar Schmidt and Washburn are owned by U.S. Music Corporation out of Mundelein, Il

User questions & answers

Question:	The tote bag it looks like sack. Does it protect the Ulk? any padding
Answer:	All ukuleles are small, and if you have larger hands, you might find the short scale of a soprano to be cramped. No ukulele could be called "too big", so try to find a shop that has all four sizes and decide which is most comfortable for you. The tenor is easy to play and has more depth and "punch", but the little soprano wins on charm.
Question:	many reviews mention instrument not holding tune. is this due to poor tuners, or just string stretch that occurs on any instrument
Answer:	Read the reviews. My wife loves hers. Mine developed a crack in the top within two weeks of owning it and I returned and swapped for a Kala KA-S. I think that my wife's less expensive Kala KA-15S has a nicer tone than mine. But yes, it's good quality. It's made of lovely wood too. A very beautiful little instrument. I recommend buying from Amazon and saving the shipping materials until you're sure you love it. Returns are free on Amazon...for a time. :)
Question:	Is the ukulele that comes with the starter kit the ka-15s because it says ltp-s on the inside of the instrument
Answer:	That's how ukuleles are suppose to be strung traditionally. Its called re-entrant and a few other stringed instruments do this as well. And most teaching material is for ukes strung that way. Don't rearrange the strings or it will be impossible to use chord the standard chord fingerings. If you want linear tuning (like on guitar) you have to by strings that say "low g" on the package. That way the finger patterns still work. But I wouldn't do this if I were a beginner because it will sound less like a traditional ukulele if you did that. Some people do that but those people are purposefully trying to create a unique sound, and they usually do it on a tenor ukulele, not soprano.
Question:	can strings be replaced when they break by standard strings
Answer:	I got one for me and my sister. Most low cost ukuleles are unplayable until you have them set up and restrung with better quality strings. Not this one. It comes ready to play out of the box, it just takes a couple weeks until the strings don't fall out of tune, but that's true of all nylon strings.

Kala Culture

Nestled between Northern California's treasured Redwoods and its coastal waters, our hometown, Petaluma, is a harbor to an eclectic mix of creativity and culture. Since first planting our roots in 2005, Kala has grown to become the most recognizable ukulele brand in the world.

Kala Lifestyle

Kala ukuleles have seen the tops of mountains, sat in sandy beaches, floated down rivers and sung under the stars. They are played in classrooms, neighborhoods and iconic music venues. More than just an instrument, they are an extension of you.

Kala Quality

Quality craftsmanship, amazing tone, and the largest selection of models anywhere, makes Kala the industry leader of the modern ukulele movement for more than a decade. We value our players and have earned their trust by providing them with affordable, easy-to-play instruments that help them grow as musicians.
