Our review
Looking for a traditional style uke in an affordable price range? The Kala Teak series is worth your consideration. Its exotic teak design is unlike any other ukulele on the market. The laser cut sound hole ornamentation and discrete body binding give the instrument a clean, sleek appearance. Nothing too flashy. But don't let its austerity fool you -- this ukulele has a smooth, classic tone that competes with the ukes well above its price.
Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned player, the Kala's Teak model is a great choice. With it in your hands, you will feel right at home and well on your way to creating beautiful music. Not bad, aye?

FAQ
All ukuleles under $1000 are made in China. There are a handful of instruments made in the USA/Australia but they come with a hefty price tag and aren't always worth the price. Often the more affordable instruments are just as good, if not better. At ukulelemate, we have tested thousands of instruments and found the sweetspot where quality meets value.
Yes you can! We have the best returns policy in the Australian music industry. No matter what you buy from us, we will take it back within 60 days and give you a full refund for the original purchase. What's even better - we pay for the return shipping. It's simple and easy.
We offer a lifetime warranty on all products. You won't find this anywhere else in the world, most music stores offer 12 months, maybe 24 months if you are lucky. We sell products that are high quality and will last. We stand behind them with a lifetime warranty.
Each ukulele that leaves our warehouse will undergo a strict QC and setup process by our experienced staff. The setup process if fairly similar for all instruments but we will spend more time on the more expensive models. The budget models will receive all of the crucial checks but we won't spend as much time on things such as fretboard lemon oil.
We package the ukes extremely well with our own thick custom made boxes. Each year we ship thousands of ukuleles all across Australia and the world. We guarantee you will receive a uke in 100% perfect condition.
