The Perfect Blend of Island Spirit and Bluegrass Roots
The Kala Mahogany Banjo Tenor Ukulele offers all the finger-pickin’ goodness of a banjo with the unmistakable tonal spirit of a ukulele. Full of unique charm, this compact banjo features a multi-ply mahogany body fitted with a genuine Remo Weatherking head. This combination produces the unmistakable percussive banjo snap and projection, while the smaller stature of the body and the ukulele tuning deliver classic tenor ukulele tonality. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide the smooth playability that Sweetwater ukulele enthusiasts have come to expect from a Kala instrument, and this model is complete with a traditional floating maple and ebony bridge, a Graph Tech NuBone nut, and open gear tuning machines for enhanced playability and tuning stability, no matter your playing style. The Mahogany Banjo Tenor Ukulele is a creative spin on a traditional design that’s sure to add a fun new layer to your next acoustic jam session.
