YIKES!) and I still love this Shark NKA "Bacon." It took a week or 2 for this uke to keep it's tune, but now, I can go several weeks without playing her and she'll still be - for the most part - in tune. At the most, a slight turn of a tuner or 2. I read a couple reviews here that say it's wood. IT IS NOT WOOD. The fretboard is... maybe the neck. but the body is a resin/plastic mold. Which would explain why the sound is so bright. Now that I have something to compare it to (my Lanikai named King) I've come across some distinguishing factors. For one - the sound. Like i said, it's very "Bright" sounding, if you will. It projects sound very well. The strings are awesome to me - then again, both my ukes have aquila strings and I'm happy with that. It comes in all kinds of colors. I love that they have fun colors and designs Quality, not just affordability - I did research on price points and quality before I chose this uke. Being that I was starting on a whim, I didn't want to fork over a whole lot of money on a ukulele that in a month or so may lose interest in. I am still pleasantly surprised at the quality of this uke. I'm sure a very seasoned ukeleleist (if there is such a word) may disagree, but as an adult beginner, this was the best purchase I believe I made. I've since moved on from this uke, but time and again, I come back to it. Especially when I'm learning a new song that's litter harder for me to work with. It just seems that I can play around a tune easier on Bacon. Anyhow, After almost a year later, I still highly recommend this and believe this is a great quality uke to start off with. You won't have to spring for new strings as it comes with Aquila ones. Just remember, as with any new instrument, it takes some time to break it in and mold to how you play it. UPDATE: I've been practicing the uke off and on now for about a month. I'd say within a few days of constantly tuning it, It pretty much has stayed in tune. I only have to make slight adjustments every so often. To me the sound is amazing, but I don't have a comparison for it. It doesn't feel cheap "plastic-y." Definitely a great starter uke for all. So far this is JUST based on first impressions. I can't actually try it out until I get home... BUT - it's got a beautiful sound - deep and wide - not toy, like. The strings are white Aquila strings so I didn't have to purchase any to swap out. :) The uke's green color is quite deeper than the "sea foam" green it appears as online. This particular item comes with a dust jacket (same material as a LV purse dust jacket) I think people are assuming it comes with an actual nylon/polyester case and it's not. So far so good. I'll update this as soon as I get home to try it out! Review: Cute Ukulele, Great for Beginners, Expectations Met ! - This is such a cute ukulele, and if you're a beginner like I was then this is the perfect ukulele for you! I bought the green (although it's more of a mint green which I like more) one and it's super light, the shark bridge is definitely a plus, the sound quality is nice, and I can actually reach the strings with my small hands. I've been playing for around 5-6 months, and it still works well! The color is also consistent throughout with no chipping or scratches. It also comes with a carry-bag which is just a bonus, but it's extremely flimsy and thin, and it won't protect your ukulele if you carry it around. If you're just leaving it at home, then this bag would be better off at protecting your ukulele from dust. When you first get your ukulele, you're going to have to tune it. An easy way to tune it is going on Youtube and searching "Ukulele Tuner" where you can just follow along and tune as they repeat the sounds of the strings. As you keep playing your ukulele, you'll have to keep re-tuning it until your new strings adjust and work in. 10/10 Ukulele. ## Features - SHARK DESIGN: Start your musical journey with Kala's fun Makala Shark, featuring the signature shark-shaped bridge and a playful design that stands out - SURF GREEN FINISH: Show off your style with a vibrant Surf Green matte finish that gives your ukulele a fresh, eye-catching look - SOPRANO SIZE: Experience the bright, traditional ukulele sound in a compact body that's comfortable for beginners, younger players, and travel - MAHOGANY TOP: Enjoy warm, balanced tone from a Philippine Mahogany top and mahogany neck that deliver authentic acoustic character - STANDARD FIT: Easily pair your ukulele with Kala soprano bags and cases for convenient protection and transport ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00FYX8QCW | | Back Material Type | Mahogany | | Best Sellers Rank | #25,699 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #94 in Ukuleles (Musical Instruments) | | Body Material Type | Mahogany | | Brand | Kala | | Brand Name | Kala | | Color | Surf Green | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 1,176 Reviews | | Finish Type | Satin | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00812040012772 | | Hand Orientation | Right-Handed | | Included Components | with bag | | Instrument | Ukulele | | Instrument Size | One Size | | Item Dimensions | 23 x 3.5 x 8.5 inches | | Item Type Name | Ukulele | | Item Weight | 16 ounces | | Item dimensions L x W x H | 23 x 3.5 x 8.5 inches | | Manufacturer | Kala | | Manufacturer Part Number | MK-SS/GRN | | Material Type | Injected Molded | | Model Name | Kala Makala Shark Soprano Ukulele | | Model Number | MK-SS/GRN | | Number of Items | 1 | | Number of Strings | 4 | | Operation Mode | Right Handed | | Size | One Size | | String Material Type | Nylon | | Top Material Type | Mahogany | | UPC | 812040012772 | | Unit Count | 1 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year warranty to the orignal purchaser., 1 year warranty. | ## Product Details - **Back Material Type:** Mahogany - **Brand:** Kala - **Color:** Surf Green - **Finish Type:** Satin - **Instrument:** Ukulele - **Item Weight:** 16 ounces - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 23 x 3.5 x 8.5 inches - **Size:** One Size - **String Material Type:** Nylon - **Top Material Type:** Mahogany ## Images ![Kala MK-SS-GRN Makala Shark Soprano Ukulele - Surf Green - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UGq7UobcL.jpg) ![Kala MK-SS-GRN Makala Shark Soprano Ukulele - Surf Green - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51PLTKMhHHL.jpg) ![Kala MK-SS-GRN Makala Shark Soprano Ukulele - Surf Green - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51ZjkJIiNWL.jpg) ![Kala MK-SS-GRN Makala Shark Soprano Ukulele - Surf Green - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51MaW1Lu38L.jpg) ![Kala MK-SS-GRN Makala Shark Soprano Ukulele - Surf Green - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71sI9fHtH7L.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Color** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FAST SHIPPING, PRETTY SOUND, COOL COLOR & AQUILA STRINGS :) *by T***T on August 11, 2015* *Update 4.12.16* Well, it's nearly a year since I first started practicing (on and off!

It is what his school purchased, so it's what both he and all his students use. It seemed pretty solid and easy to play (plus it's cute - the one I borrowed was almost hunter green), and I imagine his school wouldn't have spent the money on a bunch of crappy ukes. However, the strings that come with the Dolphin were incredibly frustrating! I found it very difficult to strum properly, and sometimes the chords sounded terrible to the point where I'd stop and check my fingers only to find that I was doing everything right - just the black strings that come with the Dolphin sound awful. (I tuned them often, too, so it wasn't that.) After looking into other ukes, I decided to buy the Makala Shark, which currently costs the same as the Dolphin and has some nicer (in my opinion) colors, plus the shark vs. the dolphin makes it look less like a school instrument. My Shark came with Aquila strings, meaning I didn't have to change them out, making the Shark ultimately a slightly less expensive investment than the Dolphin. (Also good because I'm still a novice and don't really want to have to learn to replace strings just yet.) I figure that if I want to buy something nicer down the line, I'll either just keep the Shark as a fun ukelele or let my sons learn on it. (One is already interested and is almost five, so we'll see.) If not, I'm happy to keep playing my Shark. Otherwise, it's a great uke! It's easy to play and so attractive in every color they offer. The "bag" (if you want to call it that - it does have a handle) is sufficient for keeping crud out of or away from your uke while you're not playing it, but it provides no cushioning whatsoever if someone puts something on top/next to/leaning on it. It is made out of the same material that a thin reusable shopping bag is made out of. In fact, some of my shopping bags may even be thicker. You can buy packages with this uke that include gig bags, but they're mostly plain black bags, which are fine but a little boring to me. I'm glad I opted not to get a package because I wanted to pick my own bag that isn't plain black.
