Kala Solid Acacia Tenor (KA-SA-T)

Product Review (submitted on December 31, 2012):

I bought this uke 2 years ago and it quickly became my main player. The fit and finish are fantastic. Mine actually has a very fine curl to the grain which gives it a beautiful velvety look when held to the light.

I originally bought this uke because I have a Pono Mango tenor which I have strung Low G and wanted a tenor tuned to normal reentrant tuning. I seached for months for a quality tenor that didn't have normal geared tuners because I prefer the traditional look of a uke with friction tuners. When Kala released this uke I knew this was what I wanted.

I couldn't be happier with my choice. This uke is beautiful to look at, comfortable to play, and sounds sweet. I am always complimented at my uke club about the interestng inlays or the slotted headstock. It is also one that many of the other players ask if they can try. Everyone loves it.

This uke is also a great traveller. I live in PA, and it has gone with me for long weekends in the mountains, weeks at the Outer Banks of North Carolina and to the beaches of St John USVI. It has been to all different environments and always stays in tune.

If you are looking for an eyecatching solid wood uke that sounds great, you would be hard pressed to find a better one in this price range. Kala outdid themselves with this one.
