The vibrant colors, fun design, and low price of the Kala Makala Dolphin ukulele make you think that this is not a serious instrument. Make no mistake, the fine agathis wook body, rosewood fingerboard and brige, and quality open gear tuners make the Kala Makala Dolphin a fine choice for an entry level instrument for players of all ages. Makala ukuleles are simply the best entry level ukes on the market. Sound and playability usually suffer at these affordable prices but not with Makala. Fantastic sound and looks and easy on the wallet. Matching nylon gig bag included.
