Best Soprano body/Concert neck Uke!

First of all, I'm shocked there are not more reviews about this instrument! This was my wife’s 9th Wedding Anniv. gift to me back in 3/21/2015. After researching Ukuleles, I told her this is the one I wanted (I desired a solid top, Soprano body w/a Concert neck). Best decision ever. This Uke is aesthetically gorgeous. Feels solid, sounds great, the binding is very pretty. I was even happier after I read that the back and sides were Mahogany (a true and tested excellent type of wood for Ukes and guitars!).

It’s a shame that it was discontinued, but you still can get it from some sellers on the net. I’m planning on installing a L.R. Baggs 5.0 pickup to turn it into an acoustic/electric. I highly recommend it. The only negative is not against the instrument but against the fact that KALA should have offered it w/a case specifically for its size (just like they offered it for the, also now discontinued, Kala KA-SSTU-S).

If Kala ever makes a Soprano body w/a Concert neck w/these same woods or even a Mahogany back & sides plus a Koa solid top, a Rosewood fingerboard and a Fishman KULA Ukulele pickup system…I’ll buy it immediately!!!...Hint! Hint! ;-)

Beautiful...

Such a beautifully crafted instrument. Holds its tuning extremely well, and sounds beautiful. I am an intermediate beginner - this is my second instrument I’ve purchased. Now I can’t imagine playing on anything but this.

Beautiful in both appearance and sound

I agree with the only other review posted below that this uke is really, really good. I learned on a Concert and wanted a smaller model as my next uke but couldn't quite get down, or find the interest, to go to something too small. The soprano body/long neck was perfect. After stopping in several times I picked up this Kala KA-SSLNG from my local uke shop (yes, we're lucky enough to have one). I'll say that I honestly bought this one based on sound and feel. Third, though still important, is the look/appearance. I love the sound. I love the feel. I love the beautiful, silky, shiny look. It's well built and at the time (2018) the price was perfect (~$120-130). I put a button on the bottom and found a beautiful strap that ties at the base of the headstock. I keep it/travel with it in a soprano sized tropical print Lanikai hard bag. I'm so glad I made all these choices. It's been a handsdown 5-star experience.

Amazing!!

I bought this ukulele secondhand to be the first instrument that I have ever learned how to play. That being said, I don’t know much about instruments or their intricacies quite yet. But what I can say is that this uke sounds better than my teacher’s and has been a dream to learn on. If you have the chance to pick this up DO IT.

Kala long neck soprano

It is built very solid, especially the neck the size and feels like a more expensive Uke. Sounds even better after changing to low G string. Stays in tune which most inexpensive Ukes you’d have to upgrade the tuners. Perfect to take around everywhere. I’d highly recommend this.
