Detail 01
15-inch scale (concert size)
Frets sit farther apart than a soprano, so adult fingers fit between them. Slightly higher string tension too.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A concert-size mahogany ukulele in gloss black at a starter price. For someone who wants a full-length uke to learn on, not a toy.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Adults with larger hands who find soprano ukes cramped
- First uke for chord strumming and campfire songs
- Second uke you can leave out on a stand
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who want to see wood grain — the finish is opaque black
- Fingerstyle players needing wide string spacing
- Anyone plugging into a PA without adding a pickup or mic
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
1-inch nut width
Narrow string spacing. Chord shapes come together fast, but fingerpicking gets crowded with thick fingertips.
Detail 03
Compensated saddle
The saddle is angled per string so chords stay in tune as you move up the neck, not just in open position.
Detail 04
Mahogany top, back and sides
Mahogany leans warm and mid-focused, which softens the hard plink some ukes have. Notes bloom less than spruce.
Detail 05
16 frets, 12 to the body
The neck meets the body at the 12th fret, so the last four frets sit over the body and are awkward to reach.
Detail 06
Gloss black finish
Opaque paint, so no grain shows. Gloss also holds fingerprints and marks up faster than satin.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Nylon strings stretch for about a week — expect constant retuning at first
- 02Budget for a clip-on tuner and a gig bag
- 03Wipe the gloss down after playing; fingerprints show on black
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Is a concert ukulele better than a soprano for beginners?
For most adults, yes. The 15-inch scale spaces the frets farther apart so fingers fit cleanly between them. Soprano is smaller and cheaper but cramped for big hands.
02Can I plug this ukulele in?
Not on its own. You'd need a clip-on soundhole pickup or a microphone in front of it. There's no onboard jack or preamp.
03What size case fits this?
Anything sold as a concert ukulele bag. The body is 23.25 inches long, 7.7 inches wide and 2.75 inches deep.
04Is the black finish painted or stained wood?
Painted. It's a gloss black finish over mahogany, so you get solid color rather than visible grain. White binding and an abalone rosette break up the black.
