Pretty good
I didn't get to play it before buying it since I bought it online, but I have my own Kala Tenor ukulele to compare this Makala Tenor with. For the price, I think it's decent. I bought it as a gift for someone. I set to tuning it for 3 days before I gave it to the recipient. Three of the strings eventually stayed close to in tune, but the E string wasn't having any of it. I tried… read more to tighten it, but it was pretty tight already. Anyway, I hope eventually it works itself out. The wood itself felt cheaper than I was expecting, but it is solid and the tone matches what it feels and looks like. No happy surprises, but it's exactly what you can expect for the price.
So far so good
Only took a day to get and stay in tune. No excess glue, no blemishes at all really. Perfect action and frets are smooth. For the price the finish is phenomenal. Was a little worried but after getting it in person, I"m really impressed so far. I"m mostly a bass player that dabbles in guitar, this uke was ready to go out of the box, maybe I just got lucky who knows. I usually always… read more do tweaking to get my preferred action and to set intonation. This uke is very mellow and sweet, if you want projection this one lacks a bit. If you want a sweet silky sound though this ones great. It sounds good but not great. Good enough to use seriously, though I feel it needs more bite. This is where solid wood vs cuts and laminates come into play but that then affects the price. All in all though I recommend this as a well build starter uke. As a bass player this tenor still feels dinky to me. I have medium sized hands so chords are no serious problem. So if you"ve got big hands I"d recommend you try the baritone version.
