Kala Solid Acacia Tenor (KA-SA-T)

Product Rating:

Product Review (submitted on December 24, 2012):

I had donne a lot of reasearch before upgrading from a starter makala tenor to a solid wood instrument.
I was looking for something of the best quality that middle-end ukes could offer and ended up on this one.
I find the aesthetics just perfect for its kind: the herringbone purfling and rosette are the perfect match for the smouth satin finish and the wine-like markers add a fancy note to the picture.
It's strong built and the slothead adds a lot to it (great balance with the slightly curved back).
The one i got has beautiful acacia, the soundboard looks golden and has slight curles to it that i really didn't expect to find in this price range.
I may not be the best personne to judge its tone, but it sounds so much more"complete" than my laminated uke, a bell-like tone i've got nothing to complain about.
Overall, one of the best ukes in its category, not aiming to be the shiniest, but the most elegant, and this really makes you pick it up often!
Thanks a lot HMS <(^_^)>
