Makala is the budget line of ukuleles from Kala. So this uke is a great option for those buying their first ukulele and want to make sure they get something of reasonable quality that they can learn on. And, as you can tell from Earlyguard’s video, they make a great sound.

Like the Kala pineapple it is well make. But, with the lower price, it is slightly lower spec. One of the big advantages is that musicguymic (on eBay) does a great beginner package which inclues the Makala pineapple along with a case (which can sometimes be difficult to find for pineapples), books and tuning pipes (everything you need to get started).
