The Kala KA-MK-P is an entry-level “pineapple” shape soprano ukulele with mahogany body.
Given its price, this one has a more streamlined appearance, with the most basic specs.
The neck is also crafted from mahogany and is fitted with a 12-fret walnut fingerboard.
And being an entry-level instrument, the action and tension of the strings are meant to be beginner-friendly.
