A superb deal as we make room for new models. This one has been a best seller for the last 5 years.
Made EXCLUSIVELY for us here at The Ukulele Site, so you won't see this model anywhere else! We sat down with Kala and designed this model to be the best affordable all solid wood tenor. It has a spruce top and natural (non stained) mahogany. We had them round the corners more than they usually do for nice soft edges, and ebony fretboard and bridge for a beautiful organic look and wonderful feel.
Take a listen to Corey playing our special model with this sweet sound sample.
Mahagony gives a very balanced tone overall, with mixes of warm and good resonances. We really love Spruce wood as a top of the ukulele for its clarity, projection, durabaility, and amazing overtones. We felt this was a top wood combination, espcially at this price point. We are proud to offer this product!

Can’t go wrong with this one 3 people found this helpfulI’m so glad I took a chance on this all solid model. It might have been the emotional appeal of the Spirited Away sound clip :p It has been an all positive experience playing my new tenor. I upgraded to the recommended strings and requested the set up with the low G. Its easy to play, and sounds beautiful and clear. I have it next to my bedside and usually play it first thing in the morning and last thing at night. My skills are improving which is priceless and didn’t require a costly investment to do so. I’m petite with small hands but this tenor is comfortable to play. Thank you Ukelele Site and Kala for another wonderful uke!

Great student-level step up ukulele. 2 people found this helpfulI have a Kala concert spruce top that I am very happy with, but this spruce/mahogany tenor is another thing altogether. I went with the low G setup to get a little more range and find myself playing melody using slides and bends quite a bit – the ebony fingerboard is very smooth, and the instrument has enough sustain to make these stand out well. I also play with a shifting group of musicians and often introduce songs on the ukulele. This instrument is more than loud enough to be heard over 2 or 3 guitars, but can also be used for soprano leads with great depth and character. I am certain it is going to make me a better player as I grow into what it can do. Of course, the setup for any instrument is crucial and this is perfect, with very low action and clear tones right out to the 18th fret. Thanks to all the folks at The Ukulele Site for their passion and attention to detail!

A Winner 2 people found this helpfulThis instrument sounds gorgeous. It has a great sustain and plenty of volume with a nice balance of brightness and warmth. It's also very easy to play. I had mine setup with a low G, which has given it a nice low end. Finding an all-solid ukulele at this price is impressive. This is a perfect step up from a laminate instrument.
