Kala KA-15S: the Perfect First Ukulele

So, you want to play the uke? Here's the perfect one to cut your teeth on! The Kala KA-15S is a quality soprano ukulele with a nice price. It features a traditional mahogany body, giving you that classic ukulele look and feel, so you can start playing immediately. The Kala KA-15S satin mahogany ukulele also features quality geared tuners, so you know your uke is working with you to stay in tune. Ready to start playing? Grab the Kala KA-15S and you're instantly ready for island-style strumming.

Quality construction in a value-priced ukulele

The KA-15S ukulele is a real value, especially in light of how well it's built. Its all-mahogany body produces a resonance that belies this uke's modest size. Geared die-cast tuners ensure reliable intonation. You'll experience superior sustain and vibrational transfer, thanks to a high-quality GraphTech NuBone nut and saddle. Add to that an eye-catching satin finish, and you've got yourself a fine acoustic instrument that you'll enjoy for years to come. At Sweetwater, we find that the Kala KA-15S delivers performance that far exceeds expectations.

A uke for every occasion

Ukuleles come in all shapes and sizes. The Kala KA-15S is a soprano. This size, often called "standard" in Hawaii, was the original size and is the second smallest. It delivers a classic island sound with percussive treble and glittering overtones. Slightly larger and louder than a soprano is the concert size, which came about in the 1920s. Some players find the concert uke's longer-scale neck more comfortable to play. The tenor was created soon after the concert, exhibiting more projection and deeper bass tones and fits in well with the sound of most acoustic guitars. The baritone was developed in the 1940s and resembles a smaller tenor guitar. Contrabass and bass ukuleles are recent innovations that yield a distinctive low-end punch. No matter what type of vibe you're going for, Kala has a ukulele that's tailor-made for you.

From Kala: the uke company

Kala is all about ukulele. In fact, ukes are all they make, and they make them exceedingly well. Kala is in no small part responsible for the strong resurgence of interest in ukuleles that we've seen since the mid 1990s. They design and manufacture over 120 different models made from a variety of woods, including lacewood, koa, mango, and many more, each imparting its own sonic signature and aesthetic beauty to these popular and iconic instruments. With the Kala KA-15S, you’re getting immense value in a ukulele you’ll play for years to come.

Great Little Source of Fun

My ukulele arrived in excellent condition. In minutes, it was tuned up and I was learning chord shapes. Within an hour I could play simple songs. A great instrument for the money.

Lovely Ukulele

This is a beautiful little ukulele and I am so glad I got it. It's a perfect size and has a beautiful sound. The service that I received from Sweetwater was extraordinary. David, from Sweetwater, CALLED me to say it had shipped and then checked in again via email to see if everything was okay. The price was excellent and it came with a nice little storage bag. Thank you Sweetwater, for getting me on the road to ukulele playing !
