Watch
Ride & dine's short is built around the KA-15S, and Uke Like The Pros' clip explains the difference between concert and soprano sizes.
Why it matters
The KA-15S is Kala's long-running entry-level soprano and appears as a first-ukulele pick in 2025–26 buying guides. It measures 21.06 inches overall with a 13.625-inch scale and 12 frets, and uses mahogany top, back and sides with a rosewood fingerboard and a Graph Tech NuBone nut and saddle. It is bought mainly by schools and adult beginners on a budget. The list price is $69 as of September 2026, with no gig bag included.
Note
Kala's evergreen entry-level soprano and still the default first-ukulele recommendation in 2025-26 buying guides: light, satin-finished mahogany with NuBone nut and Aquila Super Nylgut strings at a $69 list price. Bought mainly by schools and adult beginners on a budget.
