Kala KA-8 Tenor Eight String Ukulele

 

The eight string tenor ukulele is often used in Hula Halau’s and with Hawaiian music, but it is a really great instrument with any style. You will really love the smoothness of strumming an eight string. Your fingers just glide across the strings. The sound is like two ukuleles playing together. It creates a more full sound. This Kala eight string is at an entry level price, but, after our setup work, it plays excellent, and as you can see, it looks fantastic!

Hawaii Music Supply does a custom setup on each an every single ukulele we ship out. We want you to really love your new ukulele. We don't just say that we setup your ukulele, we spend serious time to get it just right. We have set up thousands of ukes for happy customers. We would be glad to show you the sound and feel available to you in this affordable price range.
