Naturally Water-resistant Uke with Striking Looks and Tone

The Kala Teak soprano ukulele has more in store for the globetrotting ukulelist than striking looks and impeccable tone. With its teak construction, this affordable soprano uke is naturally weather resistant to boot. Whether you're busking, camping, or playing somewhere else on the go, the Kala Teak soprano ukulele delivers the goods. The secret is an all-teak body comprised of a teakwood top on teakwood back and sides. This Southeast Asian hardwood is known for its water-resistant durability, varied grain, and striated pattern in different hues of brown and reds. Paired with its comfortable meranti neck and earthy nandu fingerboard — all done up in a sumptuous satin finish — the Kala Teak soprano ukulele will draw you back time and again with its unforgettable feel, play, and sound. Just like Kala's premium ukuleles, the Teak soprano sets you up with long-lasting, easy-playing Aquila Super Nylgut strings, a real-deal TUSQ nut and saddle, conventional open-gear tuners, and that telltale Kala lower bout strap button for upstanding performances.

Teak construction yields top-tier tone

The Kala Teak soprano ukulele is brimming with value, especially in light of how well it's built. Its all-teak body produces a tone and resonance that belie its modest size, along with a resilience to climate shifts to survive life on the road. Geared open-gear tuners ensure reliable intonation. Thanks to a high-quality GraphTech TUSQ nut and saddle, you'll experience superior sustain and vibrational transfer. Add to that an eye-catching satin finish, and you've got yourself a fine acoustic instrument that you'll enjoy for years to come.

Soprano ukulele size

The soprano uke, often called the "standard" in Hawaii and the smallest ukulele option available, delivers the classic island sound with percussive treble and sparkling overtones. The Kala Teak soprano ukulele is not only eminently compact and portable — the ultimate travel instrument — but it produces a focused tone for balanced vocal and ensemble accompaniment.

Reviews

Rated 5/5
Nice For The Price
This is a nice ukulele for the price. Although teak is not considered a tone wood it sounds very nice from this ukulele. The action is easy to play. The Tusq nut and saddle are great features adding to the value. Mine has nicely figured wood grain which makes it look more tropical, in my opinion.
Rated 4.5/5
Great little Ukulele
The Ukulele came in great shape, tuned it up and it was ready to go. The teak wood is stunning and gives this instrument a great look. Didn't have the fret issues the other reviewer mentioned, but at this price point sometimes things can be a little hit and miss. Coming with Aquila Nylgut strings stock is a nice bonus.
