Kai KCI-5000

I started with a cheaper Soprano Ukulele and decided it was time for an upgrade, I read many reviews and considered may different brands, what put me off the Kala in my price range was lack of strap connectors (I know these can be installed but I would probably mess it up) and so I eventually went with the Kai and it has not disappointed.
I am just in my first year of learning but for me this is Ukulele has helped me progress far quicker than the cheaper Soprano and I much prefer the body and neck sie on the Concert.
The tone is mellow and the sound is projected much better (which I know is the case for larger instruments).
