U
YOU´LL LOVE IT!!
Last week I got my new Kala KA-ASZCT-ST, and after a week of intense playing, this is my review,
The shipment: I got my Uke two days before expected, despite being Xmas season. It came perfectly protected in a thick cardboard package and inside its case, which is more a semi rigid case rather than a soft one as described in the Thomann web page and I thought this was great. There were no signs of mishandling from the carrier and arrived in perfect condition.
The instrument: By the looks it is beautiful. The combination of the spruce top and the ziricote back and sides gives it a very classical look.
The construction is solid and all the pieces are perfectly fitted. I could not detect any flaws in any of its parts. The finishing is very correct, although it can be improved for a perfectionist like me, anyway nothing to complain about.
The sound is just great, not over bright, powerful and with an amazing sustain that makes my belly resonate as I play it. It keeps the tunning almost perfectly throughout all the scale from the lowest to the highest frets and I find it very easy to play.
Coming from guitar, the extended scale length is perfect for me, and the low G string gives me the bass I miss on standard tunning ukes.
The prize: It is an expensive instrument but comparing it with the selling prize in the US, I can say it is not overrated, as I often see with other kala ukes that in Europe almost double its reference US price.
In brief, I think it is a very professional instrument, beautiful and at a reasonable prize.
