This all solid tenor is a great place to start your musical endeavor with the ukulele, a great step up from a laminate instrument, or a great backup for those of you with more expensive tenors. It has a very solid construction, but is still relatively light in weight with an excellent balance.

The routing for bindings and purflings is very precise, beating out the competition in this price range with meticulous quality, and now they are making it with a slotted headstock at the same price it was for years with a regular headstock. What a great value! Take a listen-

Voiced to be articulate and still full, this tenor ukulele will give you everything you need. After it goes through our custom setup this model is definitely the model to beat in the under $300 range. Something about an all solid Mahogany tenor is hard to beat. When done right, like the SMHT, it gives a warm full mid-range tone that will have you grabbing your uke and loving the sound! If you just have a starter ukulele step up to an all solid wood one like this and you will truly hear a big difference! Couple that with the setup work we put into it and you will love the Sound and the Feel!!

We are not a marketing-focused company. We spend much more time behind a bench making ukes like this one play and feel great. We set up each instrument to ensure you get the absolute best for your money! This includes Saddle and Nut heights, Fretwork (usually planing or "dressing"), intonation checks, and a thorough inspection for a cosmetic flaw. This is crucial for this middle price range where you can really get close to a high-end tenor feel from our work. And always, we are dedicated to giving you honest and expert service and advice!

    I've owned this ukulele for a little over ten months and I couldn't be happier! The setup that was done is superb and I can tell that it truly brought this instrument up to a new level. This is a simple looking ukulele but by no means is it plain. The mahogany grain is gorgeous and I really like the amber finish. As others have said, and can be expected from a mahogany instrument, this ukulele has a warm tone but in my opinion still very pronounced with some "punch" to it - even in the higher register. The notes just seem to pop. In fact, the open E string has a little too much pop and when strumming a chord it tends to be louder than the others if you aren't careful with your strumming. Regardless, in my opinion this is the best value for the money. I have a number of ukulele students who own various brands of ukuleles in the sub $500 range and this one beats them all with clarity and evenness of sound, projection, and playability. Once again, the professional setup was integral to getting this ukulele to perform at its best. Thanks Hawaii Music Supply!

    Ordered this over the phone with MusicGuyMic and got it setup with Worth Browns High-G. Beautiful ukulele through its simplicity, nothing too flashy, the minimal appointments really make the ukulele look nice. However the sound! Super warm, especially with the Worth Brown strings, and I know the tone is only going to get better over time. However it's still very very loud, I play with guitar players often in local library acoustic shows and it's still heard over the others. The HMS setup further compliments the value of this uke! To be honest I was going to get the Islander Solid Mahogany Tenor originally but it was out of stock, but for the same price I was able to get this Kala with Worth Strings and paid shipping so I have absolutely no regrets! Truly an outstanding instrument!
