Beautiful Baritone Uke for All Players
Ukulele loyalists here at Sweetwater love how the Kala Waterfall Baritone Ukulele conjures those lovely, lower, and lively uke tones, all with the beautiful look and sound of solid flame maple. Its all-solid tonewood presentation offers a pure and delightfully resonant response that helps the maple’s bright and articulate personality shine through, wherever you’re making music. This uke’s namesake “waterfall”-style top and back edges unveil a smoother, sleeker, and more stunning seal than traditional flat-top ukes provide. An array of 19 frets atop its ebony fingerboard creates a haven for both chording and rhythm parts, as well as for letting lead lines stand out. Other elements, such as a contour neck heel, charming maple inlays, and a pāua abalone rosette, give the Waterfall Baritone Ukulele superb curb appeal for both solo and ensemble performances. For first-timers, intermediate players, and seasoned vets alike — any musician who appreciates the nuances of quality craftsmanship will cherish the Kala Waterfall Baritone Ukulele.
An all-solid baritone of flame maple
A baritone-bodied ukulele like this Waterfall model provides a variety of benefits for solo and group play. In an ensemble, its 19-fret range and 20.25-inch scale length help provide a more filled-out musical mix for interplay with other instruments. When playing solo, this Waterfall baritone supplies lower-register voices with more comfortable performance accompaniment. Tonally speaking, the all-solid construction of flame maple ensures this ukulele sounds its very best, with a bright and remarkably clear sonic disposition. Players will note plenty of top-end presence and ideal pronunciation across chords and individual notes.

From lū’aus and local open mics to the comfort of your porch, the Waterfall Baritone Ukulele will look incredible in your hands. The “waterfall”-style meeting of the top and back woods to the sides of this ukulele creates a rounded-over and aesthetically charming touch that isn’t seen on most ukuleles today — and Sweetwater players are loving it! However, the Waterfall Baritone Ukulele’s stylistic appointments extend beyond its structural points. For instance, beautiful maple fingerboard inlays that double as side markers instill a uniquely natural flair to the playing surface. Similarly, a pāua abalone rosette and mother-of-pearl headstock inlay only further this instrument’s organic appeal. And its heavenly flame maple grain simply speaks for itself!
Smooth, dependable playability
Kala crafted this Waterfall Baritone Ukulele to play as well as it looks, which is why it features fine attention to detail throughout. An ebony fingerboard and bridge work together to help preserve note sustain and promote smooth fingerboard navigation. Likewise, a saddle and nut of Graph Tech NuBone present the best blend of traditional-inspired string response and modern sonic purity. Next, a contour neck heel provides players with a boost of comfort and confidence when reaching the upper range of the frets. Rounded out with black-buttoned open-gear tuning machines, maintaining quality, authentic sound with the Waterfall Baritone Ukulele is a breeze.
