Review: Awesome quality! Worth every penny! - I bought this as a beginners uke but it's been a year and I still always go back to it! I also got a set of aquila strings with it and the sound is awesome! It stays in tune even if i don't touch it for weeks. It came super quick and without a scratch. I take this thing with me practically everywhere i go! I've bought other cheap ukuleles but this one is definitely the best. If you wanna start learning uke but doing want to spend too much money, this is the way to go, the quality is fantastic!
Review: Great quality for the price! - I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of this instrument! I've played my dad's ukulele before (which cost about 50% more than THIS uke) and was expecting the quality to be about the same or slightly less. Lo and behold it's BETTER quality than my dad's: the Makala MK-SS is a perfect compromise between low price and decent craftsmanship. I'd definitely recommend it to beginner or intermediate players who don't want to spend top dollar on their first uke.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I love this little uke
*by O***D on February 12, 2017*

I love this little uke. It's perfect for a beginner like myself, and the shark design gives it an elegant quality. I purchased new strings for it, and the sound is great now that they're broken in.
