Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2016
I'm just getting back to my ukulele roots, so I thought I'd go find a well-reviewed, affordable uke. Not an el cheapo model, but something that people seem generally happy with. My "research" (reading Amazon reviews, pretty much...) brought me to the Kala Waterman and it's retro charm. At first I was leery of a plastic uke, but it's the real deal, folks. Sounds suitably 50s, a wee bit tinny (as other reviewers have noted) and it does require a little patience with the tuning. It's pretty sturdy, another selling point honestly, and will likely be able to handle what the average outdoorsy ukulele player can throw at it. One word of, well, caution (that word seems a tad too harsh, admittedly...): I bought the "slate grey" version, since I didn't want anything too flashy. The photo provided actually made it look kind of sickly, Frankenstein's Monster-esque green which I didn't entirely dig. But when it arrived, I'm happy to say that "slate grey" is an accurate description of the color. Think the color of a shark in an old Warner Bros' cartoon. Not seasick green at all. Anyhow, if you're still reading this far along, I'd say you've found a good starter uke or a good back-up to your nicer ukulele. Nothing fancy, no frills, and surprisingly decent sound considering the price. Go make some mai tais.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great travel uke!
Reviewed in the United States on February 22, 2016
I use this as a "beater" uke. It stays in my car or gets strapped onto my backpack. It's there for impulse playing. It can take bumps and knocks and it can get hot or dry without me worrying about cracking.

Action is higher than I'd like. It helps that the strings are easy to fret but still, the action is awful high. Due to the method of construction it also looks particularly hard to adjust, especially at the nut with the 0 fret.

It sounds... well plasticky. Which is fine. I won't deduct points off of that because it's a plastic sub-50 dollar uke and you get what you pay for. Volume is good. Tone is kind of jangly to my admittedly untrained ears and some days, especially hot days, the tone sounds pretty crummy even if my tuner says everything is in tune. This goes away after about 10 minutes of playing, so I wonder if it's the Aquila strings that are responsible for the odd tone.

Tuners are stiff and cheap but they hold tune pretty well. I find I have to touch the tuning up every couple days but it's never very far out of tune. It will absolutely keep tune through a session.

Weirdly enough though it took FOREVER for the strings to stretch and hold tune. Two weeks of playing daily for an hour or more a day. The E string especially stretched for what felt like forever. Since this is my first Soprano uke, I wonder if that's because the strings just generally seem to be less taunt than on my concert uke.

Intonation is fine down the neck, as it should be for an injection molded neck. Get the mold right and you're done.

The silver paint thing on the frets seems to have been fixed and I haven't seen any wear like people were originally complaining about. Frankly I don't give a damn but it bothered some people so it might be nice to hear that's fixed.

Is it worth it? Absolutely. It's not a high end uke. The action is high, and it sounds like a plastic toy. But it holds tune, can take rougher treatment than your nice ukes, and plays pretty well. Much like the adage that the best camera is the one you have on you, the best uke is the one you can play and have at hand when you want to play. I keep my nicer uke at home but for noodling in the real world on impulse, this one fulfills almost every expectation I have.

If you want a beginning uke, I might suggest actually looking at other alternatives. This one is nice for what it is, but I don't know if it's a good introduction to ukuleles.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easily the best plastic ukulele I've ever played..
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2017
I'm sort of addicted to giving these aways as gifts- they're easily the best plastic ukes I've ever played on... I mean they don't really compare to a wooden instrument tone-wise, but they sound different in a good way. The single notes and chords sound a bit sweeter. It's a strange tone to come out of so small an instrument.. The "chuck" (percussive sound of the strings as they sound when muted by one or more hands) of the instrument is pretty awful- No vibrancy to the high end to speak of- but the tradeoff is that nice mellow round tone for chords and notes. They almost sound more like an alto than a soprano, to my ear. If I had to focus on one thing to gripe about, it'd be the inconsistency of the build, insofar as I've played three of these now and the action has been different on all three.. One played pretty decently well- the other two were a bit higher- there really is no remedy for the action being too high on such an instrument. Your'e kind of just stuck with it. But all of them I played were playable and sounded decent (as I mentioned, better than any other plastic I've played). Further up on the neck the intonation won't necessarily be great, but what do you want for 40 bucks? It's a waterproof uke, made of plastic, in bright colours, nearly indestructible. I'd probably buy one just to practice uke tricks on- or heck, get three and juggle em ..
