Product Review (submitted on December 24, 2012):

I first played this Kala Slotted Headstock, acacia wood, tenor ukulele in a music store on Maui, when the sales man said, "try this one." I picked it up and played it and was amazed at the tone, and clarity of the notes. The strings may have something to do with that, but I have about 5-6 Ukuleles, all them Kamaka and each one was chosen for its sound, except a vintage one which I purchased from Ebay without playing it.

Since the first day that I tried this Kala Tenor Acacia ukulele I have tried other ukes of the same model in other stores and I find the consistency of sound from uke to uke amazing for this price range. The wood is beautiful to look at. The Slotted headstock is just plain cool, and it keeps in tune just as well as the conventional headstock and tuner combinations that I have tried.

I bought this Uke for my niece for Christmas and when I gave it to her, she was "speechless", turns out to be a figure of speech because she was absolutely thrilled and made a lot of non-speech sounds to make up for her "speechless" condition. I bought this ukulele from Hawaii Music Supply and it received the free set up that comes with every ukulele that they sell. Right out of the box it played beautifully. I got it with the Low G and couldn't have been more pleased. . .But my niece was absolutely thrilled and just seeing the joy on her face made my day.
