All Solid Acacia from Kala!
This beautiful, all-solid Striped Acacia will turn heads and please ears. Decorative features include a slotted headstock with vintage styled gear tuners, custom abalone fret marker inlays, maple binding and vintage-style herringbone purfling. Acacia is also called Mimosa or Shower Tree; these tropical trees are cousins of the Hawaiian Koa Tree. They have gorgeous striped patterns of light and dark brown and have a deep colorful tone that match their beauty.
For the last decade this model has been one of our best selling models. The binding is now maple wood and the fretboard and bridge are walnut. They lightened the weight of this instrument and increased the resonance and the new SA-T is certainly one of the best options for a high quality, modestly priced solid wood tenor.
Take a listen to this sweet sound sample from Corey.

Excellent instrument 0 people found this helpfulI purchased the kala solid acacia tenor as my first solid wood instrument from hawaii music supply and I have nothing but good things to say, across the board. Amazing sound and feel, beautiful wood and detail, and a great deal at that price. The work up that hawaii music supply did was perfect and I had the instrument on the main land a week and a half after placing the order. I am incredibly satisfied with the instrument and the service and I will definitely by many more ukuleles from hawaii music supply. Thanks!

Tough uke to put down esp for the price 0 people found this helpfulI own a concert and a tenor of the Kala Acacia series ukes. They're built pretty solid but I did notice some very small blemishes in the finish if I inspect it under a microscope. Barring that, it's priced amazingly well especially considering that it is a solid acacia ukulele and with additional cosmetics like rosette, fret inlays, rope and rosewood bindings etc that you only find on more expensive ukuleles. The tone is nice and bright as one would expect from acacia and intonation was on the money on both my ukes. Neck size was comfortable and the fretboard is edged with rosewood so you don't have any issues with sharp fret wires in drier climes. The only cons I can find on this uke are the weight. They are built pretty solid and as a result, weigh more than the more expensive K brand ukes. Compared to some other brands or other Kala models, these ukes aren't as loud volume wise, not to say that they're quite, on the contrary. You'll have to play one to see for yourself. For the price and what you get, it's hard to overlook the Kala Acacia series.
