Wirecutter's backup pick when the Kala is out of stock — plays well and sounds nearly as good for less money. A smart buy if you want a wood-bodied concert uke on a tight budget.
It's not the first name anyone drops, but Wirecutter tested it head-to-head against the Kala and it held its own — at a lower price.
“If you can't find the Kala KA-C concert uke in stock, the mahogany Donner DUC-1 Concert Ukulele is another good choice. This affordable, concert-size uke plays well and sounds almost as good as our Kala KA-C top pick.”
