A: It does not have a button at the base of the ukelele.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend
*by A***R on 17 October 2025*

This is the ukulele I would recommend to most new players. A joy to use!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Impressive quality of tone and great for children.
*by S***4 on 27 July 2025*

Really impressed with the quality of the tone, the strings are soft on the fingers and it’s a super little instrument for this price, and a lovely colour too. I have had no problems with tuning.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ All Around Great Sounding Uke!
*by M***H on 7 August 2016*

I purchased this a year ago from Amazon, wanting a sturdy starter ukulele. I know from my experiences on the guitar that starting with a quality instrument makes it less frustrating for a beginner. Same concept with the strings. As others mentioned, changing the strings is a must. I purchased Aquila Nylgut Soprano Ukulele strings with the ukulele. I watched some YouTube tutorials on how to restring it. It was an easy process. I thought I would need to move up after getting the basics down, but I still love this ukulele a year later. The sound is fantastic. I went to the music store to test some others, but found I wanted to stick with this Makala. Rather than getting another soprano ukulele, I wanted to invest in a tenor. This is still my go-to soprano uke. Learning to play is so easy, though as with anything, it takes practice. YouTube is filled with tutorials. The internet has websites dedicated to this purpose. You don't have to invest anything, but time. It's such a fun hobby!
