The Kala Learn to Play starter kit is a smart value for the aspiring ukulele student or self-starter. At its heart is a well-playing soprano ukulele built from industry-standard tonewoods: a rich mahogany body and neck and an articulate walnut fingerboard. An advanced nut and saddle by aftermarket guitar-parts leader Graph Tech enhance this instrument's tone and sustain, while a set of Italian-made synthetic gut Aquila Supernylgut strings impart projection and tonal characteristics you'd never expect at this price point. You also get Kala's Quick Start guide as a springboard and Kala's own Learn to Play online lessons for deeper diving into chord formations and playing technique. Includes a tote for storage and transport.





Real mahogany/walnut construction





You'll find mahogany bodies and necks in some of the finest guitars available today. The Kala LTP ukulele is built from real mahogany for a rich, warm tone and great sustain. A walnut fingerboard offers response and articulation you won't outgrow.





Aquila Supernylgut strings





Italian-made Aquila synthetic gut ukulele strings are recommended in uke forums the Internet over. The Kala LTP ukulele comes stock with Aquila Supernylguts, regarded as much for their waxy feel and noiseless fretting as for their impressive projection, sweet tone, and tuning stability.





Graph Tech nut and saddle





A synthetic bone nut and saddle from Graph Tech take this value-packed ukulele from good to great, maximizing sustain at both ends of the instrument.





Includes print and online lessons





The Kala LTP ukulele includes not just the Kala Quick Start guide, but instant access to a wealth of beginning and advanced lessons via Kala's Learn to Play platform.
