Product Review (submitted on December 30, 2012):

Last year I went to my town's local Kala dealer immediately when I found out they had this ukulele in. Perhaps they hadn't done a set up, I mean I was ready to fall in love with her on looks alone, yet she just seemed so kind of tight and quiet that I set her aside and started strumming the Lacewood model. Immediately the Lacewood just hands down had such a more articulated voice and projection, that the visual beauty of the Acacia just didn't matter any more. I came in for a month and kept trying both, yet I always spent the majority of my time with the Lacewood.
I suspect that the Acacia top really opens up over time, and that the quieter ukes grow greater in volume over time too. However, I have a hard time imagining that this particular model by this maker at that price point can really get that Acacia to voice as lovely as a cedar or spruce soundboard. The Ukulele Site price is pretty good for this uke.
