    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect first uke, great bundle deal!

    Perfect, perfect, perfect. I wanted to transtion from acoustic guitar, which I've played for 11 years, to something smaller and more portable for when I don't feel like lugging out my guitar case in my tiny apartment, something I can just pick up and strum for a bit while relaxing on the couch. This is my first uke and I wanted to spend a little more than people traditionally do on the first go-round so it would be high quality and a uke that lasts. After reading reviews from seasoned players on uke boards, I went with this Kala concert uke. I am a tall, bigger person, so I wanted something bigger than the traditional soprano uke. This is perfect on my frame, I don't look all Chris Farley "fat guy in a little coat" holding this up on my body. It has a fuller sound, which I also love. The strings are Aquila, so no need to replace upon receipt. The body is smooth and satiny, everything is perfectly balanced. You really won't get a better deal with the tuner, which works perfectly and is super easy to use, and the hard-side case. Other uke bundles come with a crappy gig bag, but this case is NICE. It's velvet inside with a cubby for the tuner, cloth, a capo (definitely pick up a uke capo when you get this!), etc, along with an outside zip pocket and two back straps. Awesome bundle all around, don't hesitate!

    As a set from the Amazon reseller Austin Bazaar: What more can one ask for? A fine sounding uke, built-in electronics and tuner! And, a protective case, not just a gigbag, at a price (with free shipping) less than many others charge for the ukulele alone!

    I confess! If I could have but one uke, it would be a soprano. There's something about the fragility of its tone that haunts me. Anything larger, even a concert, seems to lose it and sound like...well...a guitar, to me, anyway. This one doesn't, at least not as much. It somehow captures a bit of it so that I still feel like I'm playing a UKULELE!

    The tuner works great. I'm one of those people who keeps a tuner attached to every instrument, but they are either so large that they unbalance the instrument, are small but awkward to read (Snark S-1 Son of Snark Guitar and Bass Tuner), or don't stay on well (D'Addario NS Micro Clip-On Tuner) The KA-TE's tuner is just right. It's responsive, but not overly responsive, and easy to read. It took me a bit of getting used to in that an up arrow (triangle, really) means the string is flat so raise it and a down arrow means the string is sharp, so lower it. This is the opposite of what I'm accustomed to, but I find I've become used to it.

    BTW, DO NOT TRIM THE ENDS OF THE STRINGS WHILE THE INSTRUMENT IS NEW! Aquila or not, these strings take days to settle in and will stretch to the point where you fins you have double windings (windings on windings) on the tuning post. This is a bit much (and can lead to tuning machine failure on a U Bass). So, let them stretch in for a few days and then unwind them, take in the slack, and rewind. Eventually, the strings will stabilize and it will be okay to trim them.

    It may not be obvious how to take in the slack the first time you try it. The uke comes with each string going through the peg hole twice: once as usual, then a half-wrap around the post, and through again. My technique is to
    * hold the string against the fretboard with my left hand and use a peg-winder to promptly unwind the string with my right hand, all the while doing my best to maintain as much tension on the string as possible with my left hand,
    * use my right hand to push the excess through the peg hole,
    * re-tighten the string against the post by pulling on the free end, and finally
    * rewind string.

    I’m no expert on Ukuleles -- ask me about guitars, I’ve owned a dozen or more. But this is my first uke, bought somewhat on a whim, and I wasn’t sure what to expect for my modest cash outlay.

    Now that I’ve spent a little time playing it -- and comparing it to other ukes in local music stores -- here are a few observations:

    1) I’ve picked up baritone ukes that sound richer, and have a nicer feel. But they cost at least 50 percent more, on up.
    2) As shipped, it needed to be set up and the action lowered. That’s to be expected. And after that was taken care of locally, the instrument was much more playable. Not as good as some, but decent.
    3) It stays in tune reasonably well.
    4) The fact that a hard case, tuner and other accessories were included in the deal was part of the reason I went for it, since otherwise I’d have had to buy those separately. I was concerned, though about how the uke fit in the case supplied. It seemed to slide and knock around a bit. I ended up adding a small piece of one-inch foam between the bottom of the uke and the case. Now it fits fine.
    5) My verdict that it was decent quality for the price seemed to be shared by the guys at the music store that set it up, who I presume would have rather sold me one of theirs.

    I bought a baritone uke partly because I travel from time to time, and it seemed an alternative to lugging one of my full-sized guitars. I considered a “travel guitar” instead, but the ones I like are twice the price of this uke. Now that I’m playing the thing and listening to other uke players, I’ve come to appreciate it on its own terms.

    If I had it to do over? I might have opted to spend more money on an instrument I could really fall in love with, sound-wise and aesthetically. Still, I’m not disappointed -- just not delighted.
