The Makala dolphin bridge sopranos are my favorite entry level instruments. I already own two for student use (and yes, I enjoy playing them myself). Kala has recently introduced a satin finish version and last night I ordered a "surf green" soprano. I'm sure it will sound great (especially once I upgrade the strings) but I'm eager to see it for myself. They also come in Great White, Shell Pink, Mako Blue, and Yellow Coral.
