## Description

The Makala Classic is simply the best entry-level line of ukuleles on the market. Sound and playability usually suffer at these affordable prices, but not with a Makala. With fantastic sound and a vintage look, the Makala Classic line is modeled after the simple mahogany ukuleles made over 100 years ago.

Review: Great Ukulele! - My daughter loves this little Uke! Great quality for the price. Came in perfect condition, shipped wonderfully! The Ukulele came with quality strings, she didn't have to do any kind of adjustments to the instrument. The fret board to string level was perfect. It has a great sound, it's loud and punchy and very warm, compared to other Ukuleles. This is the only caveat -- one of the tuners was slightly loose (when it arrived), as it slips when she tunes or restrings. It simply requires a little more work before playing. We would highly recommend this instrument for beginners to seasoned musicians. Ooohhh...she loves it for how light it is and she loves to travel with it!
Review: Surprisingly Excellent Quality! - I ordered two Ukulele's for my daughters. One was this Makala and the other the Lanikai. They both cost about the same and we wanted to have them be different to avoid any conflicts between the girls. desertcart shipped them quickly and they were both very well packaged, as usual. Christmas morning the girls opened them up and the difference was immediately apparent. The Makala looked like a much better instrument. The Lanikai looked pretty, but it also looked pretty cheap. The difference in tone was astounding. The Makala sounded so much warmer, sweeter and musical. The Lanikai sounded tinny and cheap. It looked like an instrument, but it didn't sound like one. The Makala was quick and easy to tune. And it held its tune from the get go. The Lanikai struggled to hold its tune generally, but on of the machined tuners simply would not hold a tune. I contacted desertcart and they gave me a full refund on the Lanikai. It is shipping back today. I ordered another Makal but with the black tuning pegs to maintain a difference for the girls. I am super pleased with the Makala. It is surprising great quality for the money. I highly recommend it!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: can you change the strings on this  ukulele?**
A: You can change the strings on any well made (from a reputable company) ukuleles. I even switched the strings over because I'm a lefty, and since the bridge (the white bar for supporting the strings on a ukulele) is completely symmetrical there is no drop in quality of sound or usage!

**Q: is it easy to tune makala ukulele?**
A: Yes, I use my phone app, and sometimes clip on tuner. Mine came with Aquila strings, and hardly ever needs tuning, and I've had it 3 mos.

**Q: Where is this instrument made?**
A: Petaluma, California

**Q: Can someone please verify the length is really 22"? I want to make sure it will fit in the case I have. Thanks!**
A: 21 3/8" overall.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ From a preforming musician
*by J***O on July 1, 2011*

I bought this a couple months ago, it's really great, i would recomend getting it. I've played a lot of professional ukuleles and this one compares well especially for the price. People keep writing reviews saying it goes out of tune to quickly, that's not true... at all. Any strings, especially nylon stings, have to stretch out when they are first being used, so yes, it goes out of tune within a couple seconds when you first pick it up, but that's how it is with any string instrument, there is an easy process for stretching the strings, i think the last time i tuned it was two weeks ago and its still in tune, so its not a problem. Also, of course it is shipped out of tune, common people. The neck is surprisingly sturdy, even more so then alot of expensive ones i've played. Going back to the tuning the pegs and gears are really great, they don't slip at all, it really can play in tune for a long time. Also build quality of the body is really good, the bridge is sturdy, its not easy to break (believe me) and the acoustics of the body are great. The action on the strings is perfect and the frets are perfect, sadly some cheaper fretted instruments have lop sided frets that just create uneven tones but that isn't the case with this ukulele. Ive actually recorded and preformed with this ukulele and its great, i couldn't find something to complain about with this thing, and i'm pretty good at that.
